    Reads a file from the local filesystem.

    Using getFile

    Two invocation forms are available. The direct form accepts plain arguments and either blocks until the result value is available, or returns a Promise-wrapped result. The output form accepts Input-wrapped arguments and returns an Output-wrapped result.

    function getFile(args: GetFileArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Promise<GetFileResult>
function getFileOutput(args: GetFileOutputArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Output<GetFileResult>
    def get_file(filename: Optional[str] = None,
             opts: Optional[InvokeOptions] = None) -> GetFileResult
def get_file_output(filename: Optional[pulumi.Input[str]] = None,
             opts: Optional[InvokeOptions] = None) -> Output[GetFileResult]
    func LookupFile(ctx *Context, args *LookupFileArgs, opts ...InvokeOption) (*LookupFileResult, error)
func LookupFileOutput(ctx *Context, args *LookupFileOutputArgs, opts ...InvokeOption) LookupFileResultOutput

    > Note: This function is named LookupFile in the Go SDK.

    public static class GetFile 
{
    public static Task<GetFileResult> InvokeAsync(GetFileArgs args, InvokeOptions? opts = null)
    public static Output<GetFileResult> Invoke(GetFileInvokeArgs args, InvokeOptions? opts = null)
}
    public static CompletableFuture<GetFileResult> getFile(GetFileArgs args, InvokeOptions options)
public static Output<GetFileResult> getFile(GetFileArgs args, InvokeOptions options)
