This is the kind of online docs Dlang needs more of. Links for these "great docs" addressing various topics should be collected into a Dlang.org online file, where each "great doc" contains a link, followed by a brief description. Getting good and useful, online file-io docs for C++ takes a few minutes, but getting equivalent useful information on Dlang functions took me hours, with no successful outcome. IMHO Dlang.org online doc related to file io are too terse to be useful to anyone trying to learn Dlang, and are only useful to those that already familiar with them and who only need a "syntax reminder"

It would be great if it could be included into tour.dlang.org. Kind regards Andre
