fileFromSync just part of a file

[leopucci]

Hey there! Nice work!

I am trying to append on a form just part of a file,
Is there some way that I could append fom 0 to 1024 bytes on fileFromSync(0,1024,/path/to/file)
Thanks

just do:

fileFromSync(path).slice(0, 1024)

it's quite cheap operation do create new chunk, nothing will ever be read into memory by using fileFromSync until you actually try to read anything

a Blob/File is more like a references (file handle) that points to a location on the disk from where it can be read from

when you slice() then you are creating a new Blob chunk with a different size & offset
