    // some APIs require a stream or channel. Using one of the file resources you can safely call the method and be guaranteed that the stream will be correctly closed and exceptions handled
    // see the documentation in resource.ManagedResource for details on all the options available

      // do something interesting
      stream.read()

    // here is the code for calling that method

    // other APIs use inversion of to obtain the file object.
    // here is how to get a raw java OutputStream from a file
    // and just for good measure it will be a BufferedOutputStream
    // streams and writer both have buffered versions, similar to their java counterparts
    val out: OutputStream = file.outputStream.buffered.open
