File

class File(jpath: JPath)(implicit constructorCodec: Codec) extends Path with Chars

An abstraction for files. For character data, a Codec can be supplied at either creation time or when a method involving character data is called (with the latter taking precedence if supplied.) If neither is available, the value of scala.io.Codec.default is used.

Obtains an OutputStreamWriter wrapped around a FileOutputStream. This should behave like a less broken version of java.io.FileWriter, in that unlike the java version you can specify the encoding.
