/// File, socket, HTTP, and other I/O support for non-web applications.
///
/// **Important:** Browser-based apps can't use this library.
/// Only the following can import and use the dart:io library:
///   - Servers
///   - Command-line scripts
///   - Flutter mobile apps
///   - Flutter desktop apps
///
/// This library allows you to work with files, directories,
/// sockets, processes, HTTP servers and clients, and more.
/// Many operations related to input and output are asynchronous
/// and are handled using [Future]s or [Stream]s, both of which
/// are defined in the [dart:async
/// library](../dart-async/dart-async-library.html).
///
/// To use the dart:io library in your code:
/// ```dart
/// import 'dart:io';
/// ```
/// For an introduction to I/O in Dart, see the [dart:io library
/// tour](https://dart.dev/guides/libraries/library-tour#dartio).
///
/// ## File, Directory, and Link
///
/// An instance of [File], [Directory], or [Link] represents a file,
/// directory, or link, respectively, in the native file system.
///
/// You can manipulate the file system through objects of these types.
/// For example, you can rename a file or directory:
/// ```dart
/// File myFile = File('myFile.txt');
/// myFile.rename('yourFile.txt').then((_) => print('file renamed'));
/// ```
/// Many methods provided by the [File], [Directory], and [Link] classes
/// run asynchronously and return a [Future].
///
/// ## FileSystemEntity
///
/// [File], [Directory], and [Link] all extend [FileSystemEntity].
/// In addition to being the superclass for these classes,
/// FileSystemEntity has a number of static methods for working with paths.
///
/// To get information about a path,
/// you can use the [FileSystemEntity] static methods
/// such as [FileSystemEntity.isDirectory], [FileSystemEntity.isFile],
/// and [FileSystemEntity.exists].
/// Because file system access involves I/O, these methods
/// are asynchronous and return a [Future].
/// ```dart
/// FileSystemEntity.isDirectory(myPath).then((isDir) {
///   if (isDir) {
///     print('$myPath is a directory');
///   } else {
///     print('$myPath is not a directory');
///   }
/// });
/// ```
/// ## HttpServer and HttpClient
///
/// The classes [HttpServer] and [HttpClient]
/// provide HTTP server and HTTP client functionality.
///
/// The [HttpServer] class provides the basic functionality for
/// implementing an HTTP server.
/// For some higher-level building-blocks, we recommend that you try
/// the [shelf](https://pub.dev/packages/shelf)
/// pub package, which contains
/// a set of high-level classes that, together with the [HttpServer] class
/// in this library, make it easier to implement HTTP servers.
///
/// ## Process
///
/// The [Process] class provides a way to run a process on
/// the native machine.
/// For example, the following code spawns a process that recursively lists
/// the files under `web`.
/// ```dart
/// Process.start('ls', ['-R', 'web']).then((process) {
///   stdout.addStream(process.stdout);
///   stderr.addStream(process.stderr);
///   process.exitCode.then(print);
/// });
/// ```
/// Using [Process.start] returns a [Future],
/// which completes with a [Process] object when the process has started.
/// This [Process] object allows you to interact
/// with the process while it is running.
/// Using [Process.run] returns a [Future],
/// which completes with a [ProcessResult] object when the spawned process has
/// terminated. This [ProcessResult] object collects the output and exit code
/// from the process.
///
/// When using [Process.start],
/// you need to read all data coming on the [Process.stdout] and [Process.stderr]
/// streams, otherwise the system resources will not be freed.
///
/// ## WebSocket
///
/// The [WebSocket] class provides support for the web socket protocol. This
/// allows full-duplex communications between client and server applications.
///
/// A web socket server uses a normal HTTP server for accepting web socket
/// connections. The initial handshake is a HTTP request which is then upgraded to a
/// web socket connection.
/// The server upgrades the request using [WebSocketTransformer]
/// and listens for the data on the returned web socket.
/// For example, here's a mini server that listens for 'ws' data
/// on a WebSocket:
/// ```dart import:async
/// runZoned(() async {
///   var server = await HttpServer.bind('127.0.0.1', 4040);
///   server.listen((HttpRequest req) async {
///     if (req.uri.path == '/ws') {
///       var socket = await WebSocketTransformer.upgrade(req);
///       socket.listen(handleMsg);
///     }
///   });
/// }, onError: (e) => print("An error occurred."));
/// ```
/// The client connects to the [WebSocket] using the [WebSocket.connect] method
/// and a URI that uses the Web Socket protocol.
/// The client can write to the [WebSocket] with the [WebSocket.add] method.
/// For example,
/// ```dart
/// var socket = await WebSocket.connect('ws://127.0.0.1:4040/ws');
/// socket.add('Hello, World!');
/// ```
/// Check out the
/// [websocket_sample](https://github.com/dart-lang/dart-samples/tree/master/html5/web/websockets/basics)
/// app, which uses [WebSocket]s to communicate with a server.
///
/// ## Socket and ServerSocket
///
/// Clients and servers use [Socket]s to communicate using the TCP protocol.
/// Use [ServerSocket] on the server side and [Socket] on the client.
/// The server creates a listening socket using the `bind()` method and
/// then listens for incoming connections on the socket. For example:
/// ```dart import:convert
/// ServerSocket.bind('127.0.0.1', 4041)
///   .then((serverSocket) {
///     serverSocket.listen((socket) {
///       socket.transform(utf8.decoder).listen(print);
///     });
///   });
/// ```
/// A client connects a [Socket] using the `connect()` method,
/// which returns a [Future].
/// Using `write()`, `writeln()`, or `writeAll()` are the easiest ways to
/// send data over the socket.
/// For example:
/// ```dart
/// Socket.connect('127.0.0.1', 4041).then((socket) {
///   socket.write('Hello, World!');
/// });
/// ```
/// Besides [Socket] and [ServerSocket], the [RawSocket] and
/// [RawServerSocket] classes are available for lower-level access
/// to async socket IO.
///
/// ## Standard output, error, and input streams
///
/// This library provides the standard output, error, and input
/// streams, named [stdout], [stderr], and [stdin], respectively.
///
/// The [stdout] and [stderr] streams are both [IOSink]s and have the same set
/// of methods and properties.
///
/// To write a string to [stdout]:
/// ```dart
/// stdout.writeln('Hello, World!');
/// ```
/// To write a list of objects to [stderr]:
/// ```dart
/// stderr.writeAll([ 'That ', 'is ', 'an ', 'error.', '\n']);
/// ```
/// The standard input stream is a true [Stream], so it inherits
/// properties and methods from the [Stream] class.
///
/// To read text synchronously from the command line
/// (the program blocks waiting for user to type information):
/// ```dart
/// String? inputText = stdin.readLineSync();
/// ```
