When writing files I sometimes like to write into a temporary file first and then rename it to ensure that the file content is always valid. However, as I understand atomicMove in <http://kotlinx.io|kotlinx.io> does not support overwriting existing files. Any advices how to achieve this?

The problem with delete + atomicMove is that there exists a moment where the original file is deleted but the move did not happen yet.

Hey! Actually, atomicMove should support overwriting existing files. Do you experience the issue on some particular platform?

I work on Mac OS and sometimes Raspberry PI, if I remember correctly it was on Mac. I don't have the time to check it again right now, but I'll do so next week and write the results.
