This operation returns a tensor with the entire contents of the input filename. It does not do any parsing, it just returns the contents as they are. Usually, this is the first step in the input pipeline.

Example:

with open("/tmp/file.txt", "w") as f:
  f.write("asdf")

tf.io.read_file("/tmp/file.txt")
<tf.Tensor: shape=(), dtype=string, numpy=b'asdf'>
