This library only deals with textual files contents.

//OR
SwiftFile.create(path: path)

Delte a file

Read file content

let content = SwiftFile.read(path: path)

// or
let content = String.read(contentsOfFile: path)

Write file content

SwiftFile.write(path: path, string: "ABCDEF")

// or
"AAAAA".write(toFile: path)

Get temporary file and directory

let tmp = SwiftPath.tempFolder

// or
let tmp = SwiftPath.tempFile

// or
let tmp = SwiftPath.tempFileName(name: "abc.txt")
