## Guidelines
Before using this module to perform operations on a file or directory, obtain the absolute path of the file or directory. For details, see [getOrCreateLocalDir of the Context module](js-apis-Context.md).
Before using the APIs provided by this module to perform operations on a file or directory, obtain the path of the application sandbox. For details, see [getOrCreateLocalDir of the Context module](js-apis-Context.md).
Absolute file or directory path = Application directory + File name or directory name
Application sandbox path of a file or directory = Application directory + File name or directory name
For example, if the application directory obtained by using **getOrCreateLocalDir** is **dir** and the file name is **xxx.txt**, the absolute path of the file is as follows:
