let File = {
  // **`File.read(name)`**
  // Read the whole file into a string variable.
  //
  // Return value: a string contents of the file.
  // If file does not exist, an empty string is returned.
  //
  // Example: read a .json configuration file into a config object:
  // ```javascript
  // let obj = JSON.parse(File.read('settings.json')); 
  // ```
  read: function(path) {
    let n = 0; let res = ''; let buf = 'xxxxxxxxxx'; // Should be > 5

    while ((n = File.fread(buf, 1, buf.length, fp)) > 0) {
      res += buf.slice(0, n);
    }
    File.fclose(fp);
    return res;
  },

  // **`File.remove(name)`**
  // Delete file with a given name. Return value: 0
  // on success, non-0 on failure.
  remove: ffi('int remove(char *)'),

  // **`File.rename(old, new)`**
  // Rename file `old` to `new`. Return 0 on success, non-0 on failure.
  rename: ffi('int rename(char *, char *)'),

  // **`File.write(str, name, mode)`**
  // Write string `str` into file `name`.
  //
  // If file does not exist, it is created. `mode` is an optional file open
  // mode argument, `'w'` by default, which means that previous content is
  // deleted. Set `mode` to `'a'` in order to append to the existing content.
  // Return value: number of bytes written.
  //
  // Example - write a configuration object into a file:
  // ```javascript
  // File.write(JSON.stringify(obj, 'settings.json'));
  // ```
