Runs several operations as efficiently as possible. If the filesystem permits random access then the same channel will be used to perform all operations.
Note: only the direct file operations (bytes,lines,write,patch etc...) can be used and expected to use the same resource. The resource methods all created new streams.
Note: not all file systems support this, if not then at worst the performance is the same as if they where performed outside an open block

Not all filesystems support locking. If not then None will be returned by the method
The defaults will lock the entire file with an exclusive lock. It is possible to modify the lock so that it only locks part of the file and may be a shared lock. Not all filesystems support shared locks but if that is the case the lock will automatically be upgraded to a exclusiveLock
The sematics of this locking behavious are very similar to those in the java.nio.channels.FileLock
It is recommended that those javadocs are read and the warnings present in those docs are followed.

Read the input as blocks of bytes.
Read the input as blocks of bytes. This method should be avoided unless the maximum performance is absolutely required because bytes provides very good performance and is a better API for most applications.
However since it better reflects how data is read with most input sources (like InputStreams and ReadableByteChannels); blocks is slightly more performance than bytes and therefore can be used when performance is the most important consideration.
block size can optionally be specified but the default is normally acceptable.

Execute the function 'f' passing an Seekable instance that performs all operations on a single opened connection to the underlying resource.
Execute the function 'f' passing an Seekable instance that performs all operations on a single opened connection to the underlying resource. Typically each call to one of the Seekable's methods results in a new connection. For example if write it called typically it will write to the start of the seekable but in open it will write to the current position.
Even if the underlying resource is an appending, using open will be more efficient since the connection only needs to be made a single time.

Execute the function 'f' passing an Output instance that performs all operations on a single opened connection to the underlying resource. Typically each call to one of the Output's methods results in a new connection. For example if the underlying OutputStream truncates the file each time the connection is made then calling write two times will result in the contents of the second write overwriting the second write.
Even if the underlying resource is an appending, using open will be more efficient since the connection only needs to be made a single time.

Update a portion of the file content at the declared location.
Update a portion of the file content at the declared location. This is the most flexible of the random access methods but is also (probably) the trickiest to fully understand.

An object for reading and writing files. FileOps provides access to Channels and streams as well as providing methods for performing simple tasks on files easily.
Obtaining a FileOps from a object does not open a file execution of methods will open a file. Thus it is important to handle NotFileException and FileNotFoundException. Depending on the method one or both exceptions must be handled.
Examples of exception handling:
or using the Exceptions objectThe API into 3 main sections
open() attempts to perform all actions using the open channel in order to improve the performance of the operations.
lock() performs all the actions using the same channel
