As pointed by others in this thread (with reference and examples) as wel=

as pointed in the opening message, the answer is : near to all well know=
n  =

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.
