all the functions/methods i've come across so far deal with either streams or just file names (like std.file.read) and there doesn't seem to be a way to wrap a std.stdio.File in a stream (or is there?). i need a function that takes a std.stdio.File and returns a string or byte array.
You could try `std.mmfile.MmFile`, it has a constructor that takes a `File`, but only on Linux:
