/**
 * A reference to a file on the file system.
 *
 * A File instance is an object that holds a [path] on which operations can
 * be performed.
 * You can get the parent directory of the file using the getter [parent],
 * a property inherited from [FileSystemEntity].
 *
 * Create a new File object with a pathname to access the specified file on the
 * file system from your program.
 *
 *     var myFile = new File('file.txt');
 *
 * The File class contains methods for manipulating files and their contents.
 * Using methods in this class, you can open and close files, read to and write
 * from them, create and delete them, and check for their existence.
 *
 * When reading or writing a file, you can use streams (with [openRead]),
 * random access operations (with [open]),
 * or convenience methods such as [readAsString],
 *
 * Most methods in this class occur in synchronous and asynchronous pairs,
 * for example, [readAsString] and [readAsStringSync].
 * Unless you have a specific reason for using the synchronous version
 * of a method, prefer the asynchronous version to avoid blocking your program.
 *
 * ## If path is a link
 *
 * If [path] is a symbolic link, rather than a file,
 * then the methods of File operate on the ultimate target of the
 * link, except for [delete] and [deleteSync], which operate on
 * the link.
 *
 * ## Read from a file
 *
 * The following code sample reads the entire contents from a file as a string
 * using the asynchronous [readAsString] method:
 *
 *     import 'dart:async';
 *     import 'dart:io';
 *
 *     void main() {
 *       new File('file.txt').readAsString().then((String contents) {
 *         print(contents);
 *       });
 *     }
 *
 * A more flexible and useful way to read a file is with a [Stream].
 * Open the file with [openRead], which returns a stream that
 * provides the data in the file as chunks of bytes.
 * Listen to the stream for data and process as needed.
 * You can use various transformers in succession to manipulate the
 * data into the required format or to prepare it for output.
 *
 * You might want to use a stream to read large files,
 * to manipulate the data with transformers,
 * or for compatibility with another API, such as [WebSocket]s.
 *
 *     import 'dart:io';
 *     import 'dart:convert';
 *     import 'dart:async';
 *
 *     main() {
 *       final file = new File('file.txt');
 *       Stream<List<int>> inputStream = file.openRead();
 *
 *       inputStream
 *         .transform(utf8.decoder)       // Decode bytes to UTF-8.
 *         .transform(new LineSplitter()) // Convert stream to individual lines.
 *         .listen((String line) {        // Process results.
 *             print('$line: ${line.length} bytes');
 *           },
 *           onDone: () { print('File is now closed.'); },
 *           onError: (e) { print(e.toString()); });
 *     }
 *
 * ## Write to a file
 *
 * To write a string to a file, use the [writeAsString] method:
 *
 *     import 'dart:io';
 *
 *     void main() {
 *       final filename = 'file.txt';
 *       new File(filename).writeAsString('some content')
 *         .then((File file) {
 *           // Do something with the file.
 *         });
 *     }
 *
 * You can also write to a file using a [Stream]. Open the file with
 * [openWrite], which returns an [IOSink] to which you can write data.
 * Be sure to close the sink with the [IOSink.close] method.
 *
 *     import 'dart:io';
 *
 *     void main() {
 *       var file = new File('file.txt');
 *       var sink = file.openWrite();
 *       sink.write('FILE ACCESSED ${new DateTime.now()}\n');
 *
 *       // Close the IOSink to free system resources.
 *       sink.close();
 *     }
 *
 * ## The use of Futures
 *
 * To avoid unintentional blocking of the program,
 * several methods use a [Future] to return a value. For example,
 * the [length] method, which gets the length of a file, returns a Future.
 * Use `then` to register a callback function, which is called when
 * the value is ready.
 *
 *     import 'dart:io';
 *
 *     main() {
 *       final file = new File('file.txt');
 *
 *       file.length().then((len) {
 *         print(len);
 *       });
 *     }
 *
 * In addition to length, the [exists], [lastModified], [stat], and
 * other methods, return Futures.
 *
 * ## Other resources
 *
 * * [Dart by Example](https://www.dartlang.org/dart-by-example/#files-directories-and-symlinks)
 *   provides additional task-oriented code samples that show how to use
 *   various API from the Directory class and the related [File] class.
 *
 * * [I/O for Command-Line
 *   Apps](https://www.dartlang.org/docs/dart-up-and-running/ch03.html#dartio---io-for-command-line-apps)
 *   a section from _A Tour of the Dart Libraries_ covers files and directories.
 *
 * * [Write Command-Line Apps](https://www.dartlang.org/docs/tutorials/cmdline/),
 *   a tutorial about writing command-line apps, includes information about
 *   files and directories.
