# *file* library
Filesystem interaction library.
```python
file.resolve(path: str) -> str
```
Function turns `entry_point:path` (example `user:worlds/house1`) to a regular path. (example `C://Users/user/.voxeng/worlds/house1`)
> [!NOTE]
> The function should be used for debug only. *entry_point:path* notation is required in all **file** functions.
Resulting path is not canonical and may be relative.
```python
file.read(path: str) -> str
```
Read whole text file.
```python
file.read_bytes(path: str) -> array of integers
```
Read file into bytes array.
```lua
file.is_writeable(path: str) -> bool
```
Checks if the specified path is writable.
```python
file.write(path: str, text: str) -> nil
```
Overwrite text file.
```python
file.write_bytes(path: str, data: array of integers)
```
Overwrite binary file with bytes array.
```python
file.length(path: str) -> int
```
Get file length (bytes) or 0.
```python
file.exists(path: str) -> bool
```
Check if file or directory exist.
```python
file.isfile(path: str) -> bool
```
Check if the path points to a file.
```python
file.isdir(path: str) -> bool
```
Check if the path points to a directory.
```python
file.mkdir(path: str) -> bool
```
Create directory. Returns true if new directory created
```python
file.mkdirs(path: str) -> bool
```
Create directories chain. Returns true if new directory created.
```python
file.list(path: str) -> array of strings
```
Returns a list of files and directories in the specified.
```python
file.list_all_res(path: str) -> array of strings
```
Returns a list of files and directories in the specified one without specifying an entry point.
```python
file.find(path: str) -> str
```
Searches for a file from the last pack to res. The path is specified without a prefix. Returns the path with the required prefix. If the file is not found, returns nil.
```python
file.remove(path: str) -> bool
```
Deletes a file. Returns **true** if the file exists. Throws an exception on access violation.
```python
file.remove_tree(path: str) -> int
```
Recursively deletes files. Returns the number of files deleted.
```python
file.read_combined_list(path: str) -> array
```
Combines arrays from JSON files of different packs.
```python
file.read_combined_object(path: str) -> array
```
Combines objects from JSON files of different packs.
```lua
file.name(path: str) --> str
```
Extracts the file name from the path. Example: `world:data/base/config.toml` -> `config.toml`.
``lua
file.stem(path: str) --> str
```
Extracts the file name from the path, removing the extension. Example: `world:data/base/config.toml` -> `config`.
```lua
file.ext(path: str) --> str
```
Extracts the extension from the path. Example: `world:data/base/config.toml` -> `toml`.
```lua
file.prefix(path: str) --> str
```
Extracts the entry point (prefix) from the path. Example: `world:data/base/config.toml` -> `world`.
