mac
This module provides a subset of the operating system dependent
functionality provided by the optional built-in module posix.
It is best accessed through the more portable standard module
os.
The following functions are available in this module:
chdir,
close,
dup,
fdopen,
getcwd,
lseek,
listdir,
mkdir,
open,
read,
rename,
rmdir,
stat,
sync,
unlink,
write,
as well as the exception error. Note that the times returned by
stat are floating-point values, like all time values in
MacPython.
One additional function is available: xstat. This function
returns the same information as stat, but with three extra
values appended: the size of the resource fork of the file and its
4-char creator and type.
