# File I/O
The file device (device type 4) adds support for generic file I/O
that is similar to the C standard library on Unix. On a Unix host
these are very thin wrappers over fopen(), fclose(), etc. For non
Unix hosts, implementing these may take much more work, and it may
be preferable to design a file I/O device that models the host
expectations.

First up, constants for the file modes.
| # | Used For |
| -- | ---------------------------- |
| R | Mode for READING |
| W | Mode for WRITING |
| A | Mode for APPENDING |
| R+ | Mode for READING and WRITING |

For opening a file, provide the file name and mode. This will return
a number identifying the file handle.
~~~
:file:open (:sm-h) #0 file:operation ;
~~~
Given a file handle, close the file.
~~~
:file:close (:h-) #1 file:operation ;
~~~
Given a file handle, read a character.
~~~
:file:read (:h-c) #2 file:operation ;
~~~
Write a character to an open file.
~~~
:file:write (:ch-) #3 file:operation ;
~~~
Return the current pointer within a file.
~~~
:file:tell (:h-n) #4 file:operation ;
~~~
Move the file pointer to the specified location.
~~~
:file:seek (:nh-) #5 file:operation ;
~~~
Return the size of the opened file.
~~~
:file:size (:h-n) #6 file:operation ;
~~~
Given a file name, delete the file.
~~~
:file:delete (:s-) #7 file:operation ;
~~~
Flush pending writes to disk.
~~~
:file:flush (:f-) #8 file:operation ;
~~~
~~~
:file:read/bytes (:pnf-) #9 file:operation ;
:file:write/bytes (:pnf-) #10 file:operation ;
:file:read/c (:h-c) #11 file:operation ;
:file:write/c (:ch-c) #12 file:operation ;
~~~
Given a file name, return `TRUE` if it exists or `FALSE` otherwise.
~~~
:file:exists? (:s-f)
file:R file:open dup n:-zero?
[ file:close TRUE ]
[ drop FALSE ] choose ;

With that out of the way, we can begin building higher level functionality.
The first of these reads a line from the file. This is read to `here`; move
it somewhere safe if you need to keep it around.
The second goes with it. The `for-each-line` word will invoke a combinator
once for each line in a file. This makes some things trivial. E.g., a simple
'cat' implementation could be as simple as:
'filename [ s:put nl ] file:for-each-line

`file:slurp` reads a file into a buffer.

`file:spew` writes a string to a file.
