write	NOTHING	file-path STRING	write-mode STRING	contents STRING or ARRAY

read-mode	A combination of the characters b (binary - reads the file in, in binary mode, returning an ARRAY of SCALARs) i (input - automatically set; Tells that you want to read a file)
write-mode	A combination of the characters t (truncate - clear/create file and write) a (truncate - clear/create file and write) o (input - automatically set; Tells that you want to read a file) b (binary - writes the file out, in binary mode, expecting an ARRAY of SCALARs as input)
