This class and its children serve to unify handling of files and directories. These files and directories may or may not have some real counter part within the file system. For example, some file handles reference files within a zip archive or virtual ones that exist only in memory.
Every abstract file has a path (i.e. a full name) and a name (i.e. a short name) and may be backed by some real File. There are two different kinds of abstract files: regular files and directories. Regular files may be read and have a last modification time. Directories may list their content and look for subfiles with a specified name or path and of a specified kind.
The interface does not allow to access the content.
The class symtab.classfile.AbstractFileReader
accesses
bytes, knowing that the character set of classfiles is UTF-8. For
all other cases, the class SourceFile
is used, which honors
global.settings.encoding.value
.
''Note: This library is considered experimental and should not be used unless you know what you are doing.''

Abstract methods
Returns the containing directory of this abstract file
Returns the containing directory of this abstract file
Create a file on disk, if one does not exist already.
Create a file on disk, if one does not exist already.
Delete the underlying file or directory (recursively).
Delete the underlying file or directory (recursively).
Returns all abstract subfiles of this abstract directory.
Returns all abstract subfiles of this abstract directory.
Returns the underlying Path if any and null otherwise.
Returns the underlying Path if any and null otherwise.
Returns the time that this abstract file was last modified.
Returns the time that this abstract file was last modified.
Returns the abstract file in this abstract directory with the specified
name. If there is no such file, returns null
. The argument
directory
tells whether to look for a directory or
a regular file.
Returns the abstract file in this abstract directory with the specified
name. If there is no such file, returns null
. The argument
directory
tells whether to look for a directory or
a regular file.
