## SYNOPSIS

io.input([file])

## DESCRIPTION

When called with a file name, it opens the named file (in text mode), and sets its handle as the default input file. When called with a file handle, it simply sets this file handle as the default input file. When called without parameters, it returns the current default input file.

## ERRORS

In case of errors this function raises the error, instead of returning an error code.
