Can someone quickly give me status of file IO?

I see okio exists and works, but ktor returns a ByteReadChannel which is suspending.
Then I see <http://kotlinx.io|kotlinx.io> with it's Source/Sink which is suspending, but then doesn't allow to write to a file?

kotlinx.io is not suspending

I see. so I should manually drain the ByteReadChannel?

val sink = FileSystem.SYSTEM.sink(path).buffer()
try {
    // suspending work here
} finally {
    sink.close()
}

something like this?

also, is FileSystem like type coming to <http://kotlinx.io|kotlinx.io>?
