You might be looking for the File class, which has the same name as this library.
The file library provides functions for finding, reading and writing to files.
The following path values are most commonly used:
LUA
searches the lua files (in /lua/, in your gamemodes, in all the addons).GAME
searches all the mounted content (main folder, addons, mounted games etc).MOD
searches only the garrysmod folder.DATA
searches in the data folder.
See File Search Paths for the descriptive list of path values.
For the full list of path values, type path
in the console.
Methods

All limitations of file. Read also apply.

You are able to delete any file in the Menu state.

It seems that paths with capital letters (e. g. lua/MyFolder/*) don't work as expected on Linux.
Returns whether the given file is a directory or not.
Attempts to open a file with the given mode.

Beware of casing -- some filesystems are case-sensitive. SRCDS on Linux seems to force file/directory creation to lowercase, but will not modify read operations.

This function is constrained to the data/ folder.
Returns when the file or folder was last modified in Unix time.
