File Objects.

File objects are implemented using C<#723#><#723#>'s stdio package and can be created with the built-in function open() described under Built-in Functions below.

When a file operation fails for an I/O-related reason, the exception IOError is raised. This includes situations where the operation is not defined for some reason, like seek() on a tty device or writing a file opened for reading.

Files have the following methods:
