File Class

Description

The File class contains methods and attributes common to File objects. A File object corresponds to a disk file.

Also included in this class are all attributes and methods within the FileSystem class, as those apply to Files as well as Folders.

Note that the difference between the File Class and File Object is that the class attributes and methods require no specific instance of a File, whereas class methods and attributes do.
