As pointed by others in this thread (with reference and examples) as well  
as pointed in the opening message, the answer is : near to all well known  
languages.

Although optional, even a so much few famous language as SML, makes  
reference to it in its standard library:

These are not as much standard as sockets are. As an example, file  
attributes handling are always annotated with platform provision in the  
Python standard library. Even such a basic things to me, as file's  
creation time, is not universally available (does not exist in standard  
Linux distribution at least). This is not comparable to widespread of  
sockets.
