[swift-users] Pure Swift, cross platform way to open, read/write files?

[Kwame Bryan]

Hi Greg, you’ll need to do something like the following.
#if os(Linux)
    import Glibc
#else
    import Darwin
#endif
Also, take a look at this blog post. http://blog.krzyzanowskim.com/2015/12/04/swift-package-manager-and-linux-compatible/ <http://blog.krzyzanowskim.com/2015/12/04/swift-package-manager-and-linux-compatible/> Hope this helps.
