I think you didn't look very well in the docs.
DeleteFile
RenameFile
After I couldn't find it in the FPC docs, I looked into the D7 docs,
where many more functions are listed in "File management routines".
I understand that FPC has to implement some functions with the Delphi
names, but when most other file related functions start with "File", how
should a user know (and search for) names *ending* with "File" :-(
I agree the filesize is missing.
I will look into adding them to the documentation topics.
Thanks :-)
IMO a separation into topics "File handling" (FILE based) and "File
management" (by filename) would be a good idea. Now I also found an
topic "General File handling routines", but it seems to list only Posix
functions, not avaialble on other platforms - should read "Posix File
..." instead?
As already mentioned, I still miss platform independent versions of the
file management routines. Lazarus implements some routines, but IMO
these should become part of the RTL, not of FCL or LCL.
