Where is File.WriteAllBytesAsync and other *Async?

[mifopen]

I see that they are only in .net core, but how can I work with them anyway?

I have just used FileStream and that is OK

Please reopen this. It would be helpful for this library to match the public API of System.IO.File.

Reopened, this is a legit enhancement

I'm looking at a common IO/FileSystem abstraction layer for both local/remote/cloud.
For the cloud, I mean Azure Storage Blobs, etc.
To support those scenarios, I think your lib should add async ops support.
Even for something "like list all children of a directory" or "check if one File/Directory is exsited" may be async.
Since in cloud scenario, every action should be async by default.

Sorry to say, but the purpose of this library is to provide a drop-in replacement for System.IO APIs, so adding additional functionality is out-of-scope here. Of course feel free to create your own library on top of, instead of within, SIOA.

@fgreinacher Got it. And nice work anyway.
I just wondering if an .NET port for java nio2 file or hadoop filesystem will be really useful.
Since System.IO is a really bad design.

Starting with v6.0.1 we provide a .NET Core target 🎉
