Zig Safe File Operations: Paths, Permissions, Dry Runs, and Confirmations

A practical two-hour session on Zig Safe File Operations, focused on Paths, Permissions, Dry Runs, and Confirmations. Zig is used realistically for systems tooling, C interop, parsing, build workflows, and performance-minded components rather than pretending it is a full web platform.

Audience: entry-level and intermediate developers who want a practical engineering session, not a language tour.

Outcomes:

• Explain the practical boundaries of Zig Safe File Operations
• Apply Paths in a small working example
• Apply Permissions in a small working example
• Apply Dry Runs in a small working example

Format: two hours with a short framing walkthrough, a concrete example, discussion of tradeoffs, and a closing checklist for practice.
