digitalmars.D.learn - Output range for file?

reply Tofu Ninja <emmons0 purdue.edu> writes:
I tried looking for this in phobos but cant seem to find it which 
is really annoying. For my uses this works:

struct fileOutRange
{
	File f;
	void put(ubyte[] a)
	{
		f.rawWrite(a);
	}
}

But was just wondering if there was a real output range for files 
somewhere in phobos that I just cant seem to find.

What kind of data do you need to write to file?  If it's textual data,
use File.lockingTextWriter, which is an output range.

If it's binary data, you'll probably have to roll your own; there's a
Phobos PR right now that implements File.lockingBinaryWriter, but it's
not quite ready for merging yet.

I am writing out binary data, so I guess I will just keep using 
what I am using.
