IOFactory

Factory functions that create ready-to-use, buffered versions of the various Java I/O stream types, on top of anything that can be unequivocally converted to the requested kind of stream. Common options include :append true to open stream in append mode :encoding string name of encoding to use, e.g. "UTF-8". Callers should generally prefer the higher level API provided by reader, writer, input-stream, and output-stream.
