A file attribute view that supports reading or updating a file's Access Control Lists (ACL) or file owner attributes.
AttributeViewAn object that provides a read-only or updatable view of non-opaque values associated with an object in a filesystem.
BasicFileAttributesBasic attributes associated with a file in a file system.
BasicFileAttributeViewA file attribute view that provides a view of a basic set of file attributes common to many file systems.
DosFileAttributesFile attributes associated with a file in a file system that supports legacy "DOS" attributes.
DosFileAttributeViewA file attribute view that provides a view of the legacy "DOS" file attributes.
FileAttribute<T>An object that encapsulates the value of a file attribute that can be set atomically when creating a new file or directory by invoking the
createFile
or
createDirectory
methods.
FileAttributeViewAn attribute view that is a read-only or updatable view of non-opaque values associated with a file in a filesystem.
FileOwnerAttributeViewA file attribute view that supports reading or updating the owner of a file.
FileStoreAttributeViewAn attribute view that is a read-only or updatable view of the attributes of a
FileStore
.
GroupPrincipalA UserPrincipal
representing a group identity, used to determine access rights to objects in a file system.
File attributes associated with files on file systems used by operating systems that implement the Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX) family of standards.
PosixFileAttributeViewA file attribute view that provides a view of the file attributes commonly associated with files on file systems used by operating systems that implement the Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX) family of standards.
UserDefinedFileAttributeViewA file attribute view that provides a view of a file's user-defined attributes, sometimes known as extended attributes.
UserPrincipalA Principal
representing an identity used to determine access rights to objects in a file system.
Interfaces and classes providing access to file and file system attributes.
An attribute view provides a read-only or updatable view of the non-opaque values, or metadata, associated with objects in a file system. The FileAttributeView
interface is extended by several other interfaces that that views to specific sets of file attributes. FileAttributeViews
are selected by invoking the Files.getFileAttributeView(java.nio.file.Path, java.lang.Class<V>, java.nio.file.LinkOption...)
method with a type-token to identify the required view. Views can also be identified by name. The FileStoreAttributeView
interface provides access to file store attributes. A FileStoreAttributeView
of a given type is obtained by invoking the FileStore.getFileStoreAttributeView(java.lang.Class<V>)
method.
The BasicFileAttributeView
class defines methods to read and update a basic set of file attributes that are common to many file systems.
The PosixFileAttributeView
interface extends BasicFileAttributeView
by defining methods to access the file attributes commonly used by file systems and operating systems that implement the Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX) family of standards.
The DosFileAttributeView
class extends BasicFileAttributeView
by defining methods to access the legacy "DOS" file attributes supported on file systems such as File Allocation Tabl (FAT), commonly used in consumer devices.
The AclFileAttributeView
class defines methods to read and write the Access Control List (ACL) file attribute. The ACL model used by this file attribute view is based on the model defined by RFC 3530: Network File System (NFS) version 4 Protocol.
In addition to attribute views, this package also defines classes and interfaces that are used when accessing attributes:
UserPrincipal
and GroupPrincipal
interfaces represent an identity or group identity.UserPrincipalLookupService
interface defines methods to lookup user or group principals.FileAttribute
interface represents the value of an attribute for cases where the attribute value is required to be set atomically when creating an object in the file system.Unless otherwise noted, passing a null argument to a constructor or method in any class or interface in this package will cause a NullPointerException
to be thrown.
