Chapter 7. Managing I/O

IN THIS CHAPTER

C# provides powerful and easy-to-use classes for managing files and directories. The key to the Mono framework and I/O is its simplicity. All classes are high-level interfaces to the underlying operating system. All those among you who are familiar with low-level interfaces to I/O will soon find out that the Mono framework makes your daily life much easier because most of the complexity is hidden by the system.

In this chapter, we deal with the basics of I/O in general. We also see how to use directories, files, and streams.
