FileHandle

Native Rust implementation built into the interpreter. Runtime: P5. See original documentation for the full Perl reference.

FileHandle is a legacy IO class that inherits from IO::File -> IO::Handle. Constructor methods (new, new_from_fd, open, fdopen) create IO SVs directly. All IO methods (close, print, read, seek, etc.) delegate to IO::Handle’s p5 implementations.

new_from_fd
