Working with Files and Streams
Working with file creation, along with writing data to and from files, requires the use of the neko.io
package. There are a good number of classes here, including several base classes you can extend to
provide your own stream handling functionality. All data written to files comes from the base neko.
io.FileOutput class, while reading from a file may or may not require the use of the neko.io.
FileInput class. Table 11 - 9 lists the methods provided by the neko.io.File class.
Table 11-9
