Rename renames (moves) a file. OS-specific restrictions might apply.
func SameFile(fi1, fi2 FileInfo) bool
SameFile reports whether fi1 and fi2 describe the same file. For example, on Unix this means that the device and inode fields of the two underlying structures are identical; on other systems the decision may be based on the path names.

type File struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func (f *File) ReadAt(b []byte, off int64) (n int, err error)
ReadAt reads len(b) bytes from the File starting at byte offset off. It returns the number of bytes read and the error, if any. ReadAt always returns a non-nil error when n < len(b). At end of file, that error is io.EOF.
func (f *File) Readdir(n int) (fi []FileInfo, err error)
Readdir reads the contents of the directory associated with file and returns a slice of up to n FileInfo values, as would be returned by Lstat, in directory order. Subsequent calls on the same file will yield further FileInfos.
If n > 0, Readdir returns at most n FileInfo structures. In this case, if Readdir returns an empty slice, it will return a non-nil error explaining why. At the end of a directory, the error is io.EOF.
If n <= 0, Readdir returns all the FileInfo from the directory in a single slice. In this case, if Readdir succeeds (reads all the way to the end of the directory), it returns the slice and a nil error.

If n <= 0, Readdirnames returns all the names from the directory in a single slice. In this case, if Readdirnames succeeds (reads all the way to the end of the directory), it returns the slice and a nil error. If it encounters an error before the end of the directory, Readdirnames returns the names read until that point and a non-nil error.
func (f *File) Seek(offset int64, whence int) (ret int64, err error)
Seek sets the offset for the next Read or Write on file to offset, interpreted according to whence: 0 means relative to the origin of the file, 1 means relative to the current offset, and 2 means relative to the end. It returns the new offset and an error, if any.
func (f *File) Stat() (fi FileInfo, err error)
Stat returns the FileInfo structure describing file. If there is an error, it will be of type *PathError.

func (f *File) WriteAt(b []byte, off int64) (n int, err error)
WriteAt writes len(b) bytes to the File starting at byte offset off. It returns the number of bytes written and an error, if any. WriteAt returns a non-nil error when n != len(b).
func (f *File) WriteString(s string) (ret int, err error)

type FileInfo interface {
Name() string // base name of the file
Size() int64 // length in bytes for regular files; system-dependent for others
Mode() FileMode // file mode bits
ModTime() time.Time // modification time
IsDir() bool // abbreviation for Mode().IsDir()
Sys() interface{} // underlying data source (can return nil)
}
A FileInfo describes a file and is returned by Stat and Lstat.
func Lstat(name string) (fi FileInfo, err error)

func Stat(name string) (fi FileInfo, err error)
Stat returns a FileInfo describing the named file. If there is an error, it will be of type *PathError.
type FileMode uint32
A FileMode represents a file's mode and permission bits. The bits have the same definition on all systems, so that information about files can be moved from one system to another portably. Not all bits apply to all systems. The only required bit is ModeDir for directories.
const (
// The single letters are the abbreviations
// used by the String method's formatting.
ModeDir FileMode = 1 << (32 - 1 - iota) // d: is a directory
ModeAppend // a: append-only
ModeExclusive // l: exclusive use
ModeTemporary // T: temporary file (not backed up)
ModeSymlink // L: symbolic link
ModeDevice // D: device file
ModeNamedPipe // p: named pipe (FIFO)
ModeSocket // S: Unix domain socket
ModeSetuid // u: setuid
ModeSetgid // g: setgid
ModeCharDevice // c: Unix character device, when ModeDevice is set
ModeSticky // t: sticky
// Mask for the type bits. For regular files, none will be set.
ModeType = ModeDir | ModeSymlink | ModeNamedPipe | ModeSocket | ModeDevice
ModePerm FileMode = 0777 // permission bits
)
The defined file mode bits are the most significant bits of the FileMode. The nine least-significant bits are the standard Unix rwxrwxrwx permissions. The values of these bits should be considered part of the public API and may be used in wire protocols or disk representations: they must not be changed, although new bits might be added.

Signal sends a signal to the Process. Sending Interrupt on Windows is not implemented.
func (p *Process) Wait() (*ProcessState, error)
