cl.filemanagement.8 fileio API Changes

Deprecated the fileio APIs, which do not return error codes, and added APIs that return error codes.

Change Impact

For applications developed based on earlier versions, pay attention to the iterative update of deprecated APIs. The specifications of the new APIs are slightly adjusted. Pay attention to the usage of the new APIs.

Key API/Component Changes

The APIs of @ohos.fileio do not support error code handling and are deprecated. New APIs with minor changes in parameters are added in @ohos.file.fs to support unified error code handling specifications. The new APIs function the same as the original APIs. The following table lists the API changes. The API names remain unchanged.
