More Output

One of the core IO classes is called Output

Convert Object To Output
In addition to Resource.fromFoo methods to create Resources (which are often Output objects) There is a second option for converting certain objects directly to an Output object. This example shows how to convert a File to an output object 
    import scalax.io._
    import java.io.File
    import Output.asOutputConverter

    // By default files can be converted to an Output Object by importing
    // Output.asOutputConverter and calling asOutput on the file
    val output:Output = new File("aFile").asOutput

    // needed for the write call below
    implicit val codec = Codec.UTF8

    output.write("data is being written to file")
