127 * a file larger than the available memory will most probably crash
128 * the program. Strictly speaking only reading ascii fils make sense.
129 * Also gzip'ed files are supported.
130 *
131 * Note that this is only meant for debugging purpose and should
132 * not be usd in a production environment. Scripts should not
133 * access any files by defaults. If external values have to be
134 * provided arguments should be given to the script.

138 * @param {String} name

140 * working directory

142 * @param {String} [delim=undefined]
143 * A delimiter used to split the file into an array. If provided
144 * it must be a String of length 1.
145 *
146 * @returns {String,Array[String]}
147 * If no delimiter is given, a StringObject with the file (read
148 * until \0) is returned. If a delimiter is given, an array
149 * of Strings is returned, one for each chunk. Both objects
150 * contain the property 'name' with the file name and the array
151 * contains the property 'delim' with the used delimiter.
