The Deno abstraction for reading and writing files.

Changes the permission of a specific file/directory of specified path. Ignores the process's umask.

Synchronously changes the permission of a specific file/directory of specified path. Ignores the process's umask.

Change owner of a regular file or directory.

Synchronously change owner of a regular file or directory.

Copies the contents and permissions of one file to another specified path, by default creating a new file if needed, else overwriting. Fails if target path is a directory or is unwritable.

Synchronously copies the contents and permissions of one file to another specified path, by default creating a new file if needed, else overwriting. Fails if target path is a directory or is unwritable.

Creates a file if none exists or truncates an existing file and resolves to an instance of Deno.FsFile.

Creates a file if none exists or truncates an existing file and returns an instance of Deno.FsFile.

Creates newpath as a hard link to oldpath.

Synchronously creates newpath as a hard link to oldpath.

Resolves to a Deno.FileInfo for the specified path. If path is a symlink, information for the symlink will be returned instead of what it points to.

Synchronously returns a Deno.FileInfo for the specified path. If path is a symlink, information for the symlink will be returned instead of what it points to.

Creates a new temporary directory in the default directory for temporary files, unless dir is specified. Other optional options include prefixing and suffixing the directory name with prefix and suffix respectively.

Synchronously creates a new temporary directory in the default directory for temporary files, unless dir is specified. Other optional options include prefixing and suffixing the directory name with prefix and suffix respectively.

Creates a new temporary file in the default directory for temporary files, unless dir is specified.

Synchronously creates a new temporary file in the default directory for temporary files, unless dir is specified.

Creates a new directory with the specified path.

Synchronously creates a new directory with the specified path.

Open a file and resolve to an instance of Deno.FsFile. The file does not need to previously exist if using the create or createNew open options. The caller may have the resulting file automatically closed by the runtime once it's out of scope by declaring the file variable with the using keyword.

Synchronously open a file and return an instance of Deno.FsFile. The file does not need to previously exist if using the create or createNew open options. The caller may have the resulting file automatically closed by the runtime once it's out of scope by declaring the file variable with the using keyword.

Reads the directory given by path and returns an async iterable of Deno.DirEntry. The order of entries is not guaranteed.

Synchronously reads the directory given by path and returns an iterable of Deno.DirEntry. The order of entries is not guaranteed.

Reads and resolves to the entire contents of a file as an array of bytes. TextDecoder can be used to transform the bytes to string if required. Rejects with an error when reading a directory.

Synchronously reads and returns the entire contents of a file as an array of bytes. TextDecoder can be used to transform the bytes to string if required. Throws an error when reading a directory.

Resolves to the full path destination of the named symbolic link.

Synchronously returns the full path destination of the named symbolic link.

Asynchronously reads and returns the entire contents of a file as an UTF-8 decoded string. Reading a directory throws an error.

Synchronously reads and returns the entire contents of a file as an UTF-8 decoded string. Reading a directory throws an error.

Resolves to the absolute normalized path, with symbolic links resolved.

Synchronously returns absolute normalized path, with symbolic links resolved.

Removes the named file or directory.

Synchronously removes the named file or directory.

Renames (moves) oldpath to newpath. Paths may be files or directories. If newpath already exists and is not a directory, rename() replaces it. OS-specific restrictions may apply when oldpath and newpath are in different directories.

Synchronously renames (moves) oldpath to newpath. Paths may be files or directories. If newpath already exists and is not a directory, renameSync() replaces it. OS-specific restrictions may apply when oldpath and newpath are in different directories.

Resolves to a Deno.FileInfo for the specified path. Will always follow symlinks.

Synchronously returns a Deno.FileInfo for the specified path. Will always follow symlinks.

Creates newpath as a symbolic link to oldpath.

Creates newpath as a symbolic link to oldpath.

Truncates (or extends) the specified file, to reach the specified len. If len is not specified then the entire file contents are truncated.

Synchronously truncates (or extends) the specified file, to reach the specified len. If len is not specified then the entire file contents are truncated.

Retrieve the process umask. If mask is provided, sets the process umask. This call always returns what the umask was before the call.

Changes the access (atime) and modification (mtime) times of a file system object referenced by path. Given times are either in seconds (UNIX epoch time) or as Date objects.

Synchronously changes the access (atime) and modification (mtime) times of a file system object referenced by path. Given times are either in seconds (UNIX epoch time) or as Date objects.

Watch for file system events against one or more paths, which can be files or directories. These paths must exist already. One user action (e.g. touch test.file) can generate multiple file system events. Likewise, one user action can result in multiple file paths in one event (e.g. mv old_name.txt new_name.txt).

Write data to the given path, by default creating a new file if needed, else overwriting.

Synchronously write data to the given path, by default creating a new file if needed, else overwriting.

Write string data to the given path, by default creating a new file if needed, else overwriting.

Synchronously write string data to the given path, by default creating a new file if needed, else overwriting.

Information about a directory entry returned from Deno.readDir and Deno.readDirSync.

Provides information about a file and is returned by Deno.stat, Deno.lstat, Deno.statSync, and Deno.lstatSync or from calling stat() and statSync() on an Deno.FsFile instance.

Represents a unique file system event yielded by a Deno.FsWatcher.

Returned by Deno.watchFs. It is an async iterator yielding up system events. To stop watching the file system by calling .close() method.

Options which can be set when using Deno.makeTempDir, Deno.makeTempDirSync, Deno.makeTempFile, and Deno.makeTempFileSync.

Options which can be set when using Deno.mkdir and Deno.mkdirSync.

Options which can be set when doing Deno.open and Deno.openSync.

Options which can be set when using Deno.readFile or Deno.readFileSync.

Options which can be set when using Deno.remove and Deno.removeSync.

Options that can be used with symlink and symlinkSync.

Options for writing to a file.

Additional information for FsEvent objects with the "other" kind.
