fn pub mut flush -> Result[Nil, Never] {
  Result.Ok(nil)
}

fn pub mut flush -> Result[Nil, Never]

Flushes any pending writes to the file system.

Flushing writes is a potentially expensive operation, and unnecessarily calling this method may degrade performance.

When flushing data to disk it's important to remember that the actual behaviour may vary based on the type of file system, operating system and storage hardware that's used. In particular, it's possible for one of these components to say "Yup, I totally flushed the data, you're all good!" when in fact they have not fully flushed the data.

fn pub mut print(string: String) -> Result[Nil, Error] {
  write_string(string).then(fn (_) { write_string('\n') })
}

fn pub mut print(string: String) -> Result[Nil, Error]

Writes the entirety of string to the underlying stream, followed by writing a Unix newline to the stream.

fn pub mut write_bytes(bytes: ref ByteArray) -> Result[Nil, Error] {
  write_all_internal(bytes.to_pointer, bytes.size)
}

fn pub mut write_bytes(bytes: ref ByteArray) -> Result[Nil, Error]

Writes the entirety of bytes to the underlying stream.

Types implementing this method must guarantee that upon returning from this method, either all of the data is written and a Ok(Nil) is returned, or an Error(Error) is returned.

fn pub mut write_string(string: String) -> Result[Nil, Error] {
  write_all_internal(string.to_pointer, string.size)
}

fn pub mut write_string(string: String) -> Result[Nil, Error]

Writes the entirety of string to the underlying stream.

See Write.write_bytes for more details.
