This plugin allows reading of a line from a file.
| file::readline('/path/to/file', line_number) |
This plugin returns up to 80 characters of a line from a file. Characters after that in the line are simply ignored.
The plugin could be a logical place to add more file operations, such as size, permissions display, etc.
