String file_get_contents(String file_name)
:params
file_name : file to read, resolved against the unit's directory
return value : the file's contents, or "" if it cannot be read
:content
Reads an entire file and returns it as a `String`. The read takes a shared lock for its duration, so it waits for any in-progress `file_put_contents()` / `file_append()` write to finish; you never manage locks yourself. For large files or random access, use `file_open()` + `file_read()`.
:example
file_put_contents("/tmp/doc-get.txt", "hello");
print(file_get_contents("/tmp/doc-get.txt"), "\n");
