Functions on File Objects

Function: flush-file file-object

This function flushes any buffered output to the file object file-object to disk.

Note that when using a file which was opened with the `+' option it's necessary to call this function when switching from reading to writing or vice versa.

Function: file-binding file-object

Returns the name of the file which the file object file-object is currently bound to.

Function: read-file-until file-object regexp &optional ignore-case

This function reads lines from the file object file-object until a line matching the regular expression regexp is found. The matching line is returned, or nil if the end of the file is reached.

When the ignore-case option is non-nil all regexp matching is done case-insignificantly (except for matching ranges).
