File
Static methods
exists(path)
Returns true if there is a file present at the given path.
getLastModified(path)
Returns the time (in unix timestamp) of the last modification of the file.
Instance fields
exists
Equals to true if the file exists on disk.
Instance methods
constructor(path)
Creates a new file instance with the path set to path. This method does not create the file on disk, it just acts as a handle.
close()
Closes the file, writing it to the disk. Creates the file on the disk, if it did not exist before.
write(object)
Writes the result of calling object.toString() to the file buffer.
writeByte(byte)
Writes a byte to the file buffer.
writeShort(short)
Writes two bytes to the file buffer.
writeNumber(number)
Writes four bytes to the file buffer.
writeBool(bool)
Writes either 1 or 0 to the file buffer depending on the provided value.
writeString(string)
Writes a string with a maximum length in bytes of ~32k chars (INT16_MAX) to the file buffer.
It uses two bytes to store the string's byte length, and then dumps all the string's bytes.
readAll()
Returns the file contents as a string.
readLine()
Returns a single line from the file as a string and advances the file position.
readByte()
Returns a single byte from the file and advances the file position.
readShort()
Returns two bytes from the file and advances the file position.
readNumber()
Returns four bytes from the file and advances the file position.
readBool()
Returns true or false from the file and advances the file position.
readString()
Returns a string from the file and advances the file position.
Be careful to use this method only with the correct byte structure in the file, aka written by the writeString().
getLastModified()
Returns the time (in unix timestamp) of the last modification of the file.
