[swift-users] simple i/o on linux with open source swift

[Andrey Fidrya]

High level ones:

let s = try String(contentsOfFile: filename, encoding: .utf8)
try s.write(toFile: filename, atomically: true, encoding: .utf8)

Low level ones:

import Foundation

let fileManager = FileManager.default()

guard let enumerator = fileManager.enumerator(atPath: path) else { fatalError() }
if !fileManager.fileExists(atPath: filename) {
    fileManager.createFile(atPath: filename, contents: nil, attributes: nil)
}
guard let outFile = FileHandle(forWritingAtPath: filename) else { fatalError() }
defer {
    outFile.closeFile()
}

outFile.truncateFile(atOffset: 0)
guard let data = str.data(using: .utf8) else { fatalError() }
outFile.write(data)


This used to work on Linux.
