The ITcFileAccess interface is used to access files in file systems.
Because the methods provided cause blockages, this interface should not be used in CycleUpdate() / real-time context. The derived interface ITcFileAccessAsync adds a Check() method that can be used instead.

See Sample20a: FileIO-Cyclic Read / Write.

The interface is implemented via the CID_TcFileAccess module class.
