rmfile(*filepaths)	Delete single/multiple files. The *filepaths arguments must be strings.
mkfile(mode, *filepaths)	Make single/multiple text/binary based files. The mode argument must be either strings: "t" (text) or "b" (binary). The *filepaths arguments must be strings.
rmdir(*filepaths)	Delete single/multiple directories. The *filepaths arguments must be strings.
