# @ohos.fileio (File Management)

The **fileio** module provides APIs for file storage and management, including basic file management, directory management, file information statistics, and stream read and write.

> **NOTE**
> - The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 6. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.
> - The APIs provided by this module are deprecated since API version 9. You are advised to use [@ohos.file.fs](js-apis-file-fs.md).

## Modules to Import

```ts
import fileio from '@ohos.fileio';
```


## Guidelines

Before using the APIs provided by this module to perform operations on a file or directory, obtain the application sandbox path of the file or directory as follows:

 ```ts
  import UIAbility from '@ohos.app.ability.UIAbility';
  import window from '@ohos.window';

  export default class EntryAbility extends UIAbility {
    onWindowStageCreate(windowStage: window.WindowStage) {
      let context = this.context;
      let pathDir = context.filesDir;
    }
  }
 ```

For details about how to obtain the application sandbox path, see [Obtaining Application File Paths](../../application-models/application-context-stage.md#obtaining-application-file-paths).


## fileio.stat

stat(path: string): Promise<Stat>
