    • createTempDir

      public static File createTempDir()
      Deprecated.
      Atomically creates a new directory somewhere beneath the system's temporary directory (as defined by the java.io.tmpdir system property), and returns its name.

      Use this method instead of File.createTempFile(String, String) when you wish to create a directory, not a regular file. A common pitfall is to call createTempFile, delete the file and create a directory in its place, but this leads a race condition which can be exploited to create security vulnerabilities, especially when executable files are to be written into the directory.

      This method assumes that the temporary volume is writable, has free inodes and free blocks, and that it will not be called thousands of times per second.

      Returns:
      the newly-created directory
      Throws:
      IllegalStateException - if the directory could not be created

    • touch

      IOException - if an I/O error occurs

    • createParentDirs

      public static void createParentDirs(File file) throws IOException
      Deprecated.
      Creates any necessary but nonexistent parent directories of the specified file. Note that if this operation fails it may have succeeded in creating some (but not all) of the necessary parent directories.
      Throws:
      IOException - if an I/O error occurs, or if any necessary but nonexistent parent directories of the specified file could not be created.
      Since:
      4.0

    • move

      public static void move(File from, File to) throws IOException
      Deprecated.
      Moves the file from one path to another. This method can rename a file or move it to a different directory, like the Unix mv command.
      Parameters:
      from - the source file
      to - the destination file
      Throws:

      public static <T> T readLines(File file, Charset charset, LineProcessor<T> callback) throws IOException
      Deprecated.

    • map

      public static MappedByteBuffer map(File file) throws IOException
      Deprecated.
      Fully maps a file read-only in to memory as per FileChannel.map(java.nio.channels.FileChannel.MapMode, long, long).

      Files are mapped from offset 0 to its length.

      This only works for files invalid input: '<'= Integer.MAX_VALUE bytes.

      Parameters:
      file - the file to map
      Returns:
      a read-only buffer reflecting file
      Throws:
      FileNotFoundException - if the file does not exist
      IOException - if an I/O error occurs

      2.0
      See Also:

    • map

      public static MappedByteBuffer map(File file, FileChannel.MapMode mode) throws IOException
      Deprecated.
      Fully maps a file in to memory as per FileChannel.map(java.nio.channels.FileChannel.MapMode, long, long) using the requested FileChannel.MapMode.

      Files are mapped from offset 0 to its length.

      This only works for files invalid input: '<'= Integer.MAX_VALUE bytes.

      Parameters:
      file - the file to map
      mode - the mode to use when mapping file
      Returns:
      a buffer reflecting file
      Throws:
      FileNotFoundException - if the file does not exist
      IOException - if an I/O error occurs
      Since:
      2.0
      See Also:

    • map

      public static MappedByteBuffer map(File file, FileChannel.MapMode mode, long size) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException
      Deprecated.
      Maps a file in to memory as per FileChannel.map(java.nio.channels.FileChannel.MapMode, long, long) using the requested FileChannel.MapMode.

      Files are mapped from offset 0 to size.

      If the mode is FileChannel.MapMode.READ_WRITE and the file does not exist, it will be created with the requested size. Thus this method is useful for creating memory mapped files which do not yet exist.

      This only works for files invalid input: '<'= Integer.MAX_VALUE bytes.

      Parameters:
      file - the file to map
      mode - the mode to use when mapping file
      Returns:
      a buffer reflecting file
      Throws:
      IOException - if an I/O error occurs
      FileNotFoundException
      Since:
      2.0

    • simplifyPath

      public static String simplifyPath(String pathname)
      Deprecated.
      Returns the lexically cleaned form of the path name, usually (but not always) equivalent to the original. The following heuristics are used:
      • empty string becomes .
      • . stays as .
      • fold out ./
      • fold out ../ when possible
      • collapse multiple slashes
      • delete trailing slashes (unless the path is just "/")

      These heuristics do not always match the behavior of the filesystem. In particular, consider the path a/../b, which simplifyPath will change to b. If a is a symlink to x, a/../b may refer to a sibling of x, rather than the sibling of a referred to by b.

      Since:
      11.0

    • getFileExtension

      public static String getFileExtension(String fullName)
      Deprecated.

    • getNameWithoutExtension

      public static String getNameWithoutExtension(String file)
      Deprecated.
      Returns the file name without its file extension or path. This is similar to the basename unix command. The result does not include the '.'.
      Parameters:
      file - The name of the file to trim the extension from. This can be either a fully qualified file name (including a path) or just a file name.
      Returns:
      The file name without its path or extension.
      Since:
      14.0

    • fileTreeTraverser

      public static TreeTraverser<File> fileTreeTraverser()
      Deprecated.
      Returns a TreeTraverser instance for File trees.

      Warning: File provides no support for symbolic links, and as such there is no way to ensure that a symbolic link to a directory is not followed when traversing the tree. In this case, iterables created by this traverser could contain files that are outside of the given directory or even be infinite if there is a symbolic link loop.

      Since:
      15.0

    • isDirectory

      public static Predicate<File> isDirectory()
