Interface RegularFile

All Superinterfaces:

InputStreamSource, OutputStreamSource, PathName, ReaderSource, WritablePathName, WriterSource

public interface RegularFile
extends PathName, InputStreamSource, ReaderSource, WritablePathName

A façade for regular file only operations.

This is only a façade. More specifically, the underlying object may or may not represent an actual regular file. For example, the file may have been deleted between the time an instance of this interface is obtained and the time a method in this interface is invoked.

This interface can be used as both the source and destination in methods from the Copy, Read and Write classes.

Since:
