File<ToolKit>

File<ToolKit> provides a portable interface to paths, files, and directories. Using File<ToolKit>, programmers can write portable code for the creation and management of files and directories across different operating systems. Refer to IO<ToolKit> for more information on general I/O behaviors of files and directories.

File<ToolKit> contains a set of classes that provides the following functionality.

Portability - Portable interfaces that address the inconsistent implementation of path names, file handles, file locking, and the creation and use of directories across operating systems.
Simplicity - Simplification of problems like manipulating path names in C++, accessing a list of files in a directory, or determining if a file exists.
