Description

The file data type represents a file in the file system. A file may contain forks.

Note

If no parent disk, volume, folder, or directory is specified, the current directory is used as the parent.

Security

To use files, OpenXION's security settings must allow the FILE_SYSTEM_READ security key. If the required security key is denied, a script error will be triggered.
