| Notes |
This verb is implemented as a script. This verb takes care of creating, opening, and closing the file, so you don't have to do it. On Windows, the type and creator paramters are ignored. If the creation date isn't specified, it is set to clock.now (). 11/27/01: Added support for callback scripts that gain control after the file has been written. They live in user.callbacks.fileWriteWholeFile, take one parameter, the path to the file that was written. The returned value of the callback is ignored. Callbacks were also added for file.setModified.
