FileSystemHandle

open class FileSystemHandle : StartInDirectory, Serializable(source)

The FileSystemHandle interface of the File System API is an object which represents a file or directory entry. Multiple handles can represent the same entry. For the most part you do not work with FileSystemHandle directly but rather its child interfaces FileSystemFileHandle and FileSystemDirectoryHandle. Available only in secure contexts.
