gollark: Yes...
gollark: `flush` isn't entirely needed but ensures that it's written to disk as needed.
gollark: Now, you would open the file *once*, then write to it *later*.
gollark: File writing example:```lualocal f = fs.open("file", "a") -- open "file" in a (append) modef.writeLine(line_to_write) -- write line to the filef.flush() -- write line to disk```
gollark: Not if you're being annoying.
