| {@link StandardOpenOption#TRUNCATE_EXISTING TRUNCATE_EXISTING} | *If this option is present then the existing file is truncated to * a size of 0 bytes. This option is ignored when the file is opened only * for reading. | *
| {@link StandardOpenOption#CREATE_NEW CREATE_NEW} | *If this option is present then a new file is created, failing if * the file already exists or is a symbolic link.

| {@link StandardOpenOption#CREATE CREATE} | *If this option is present then an existing file is opened if it * exists, otherwise a new file is created. This option is ignored if the * {@code CREATE_NEW} option is also present or the file is opened only * for reading. | *
| {@link StandardOpenOption#DELETE_ON_CLOSE DELETE_ON_CLOSE} | *When this option is present then the implementation makes a * best effort attempt to delete the file when closed by the * {@link SeekableByteChannel#close close} method. If the {@code close} * method is not invoked then a best effort attempt is made to * delete the file when the Java virtual machine terminates. | *
| {@link StandardOpenOption#SPARSE SPARSE} | *When creating a new file this option is a hint that the * new file will be sparse. This option is ignored when not creating * a new file. | *
| {@link StandardOpenOption#SYNC SYNC} | *Requires that every update to the file's content or metadata be * written synchronously to the underlying storage device. (see Synchronized I/O file * integrity). | *

// -- Copying and moving files --
/**
* Copy a file to a target file.
*
* This method copies a file to the target file with the {@code
* options} parameter specifying how the copy is performed. By default, the
* copy fails if the target file already exists or is a symbolic link,
* except if the source and target are the {@link #isSameFile same} file, in
* which case the method completes without copying the file. File attributes
* are not required to be copied to the target file. If symbolic links are
* supported, and the file is a symbolic link, then the final target of the
* link is copied. If the file is a directory then it creates an empty
* directory in the target location (entries in the directory are not
* copied). This method can be used with the {@link #walkFileTree
* walkFileTree} method to copy a directory and all entries in the directory,
* or an entire file-tree where required.
*
* The {@code options} parameter may include any of the following:
*
* An implementation of this interface may support additional
* implementation specific options.
*
* Copying a file is not an atomic operation. If an {@link IOException}
* is thrown, then it is possible that the target file is incomplete or some
* of its file attributes have not been copied from the source file. When
* the {@code REPLACE_EXISTING} option is specified and the target file
* exists, then the target file is replaced. The check for the existence of
* the file and the creation of the new file may not be atomic with respect
* to other file system activities.
*
* Usage Example:
* Suppose we want to copy a file into a directory, giving it the same file
* name as the source file:
* By default, this method attempts to move the file to the target
* file, failing if the target file exists except if the source and
* target are the {@link #isSameFile same} file, in which case this method
* has no effect. If the file is a symbolic link then the symbolic link
* itself, not the target of the link, is moved. This method may be
* invoked to move an empty directory. In some implementations a directory
* has entries for special files or links that are created when the
* directory is created. In such implementations a directory is considered
* empty when only the special entries exist. When invoked to move a
* directory that is not empty then the directory is moved if it does not
* require moving the entries in the directory. For example, renaming a
* directory on the same {@link FileStore} will usually not require moving
* the entries in the directory. When moving a directory requires that its
* entries be moved then this method fails (by throwing an {@code
* IOException}). To move a file tree may involve copying rather
* than moving directories and this can be done using the {@link
* #copy copy} method in conjunction with the {@link
* #walkFileTree Files.walkFileTree} utility method.
*
* The {@code options} parameter may include any of the following:
*
* An implementation of this interface may support additional
* implementation specific options.
*
* Moving a file will copy the {@link
* BasicFileAttributes#lastModifiedTime last-modified-time} to the target
* file if supported by both source and target file stores. Copying of file
* timestamps may result in precision loss. An implementation may also
* attempt to copy other file attributes but is not required to fail if the
* file attributes cannot be copied. When the move is performed as
* a non-atomic operation, and an {@code IOException} is thrown, then the
* state of the files is not defined. The original file and the target file
* may both exist, the target file may be incomplete or some of its file
* attributes may not been copied from the original file.
*
* Usage Examples:
* Suppose we want to rename a file to "newname", keeping the file in the
* same directory:
* If the file system supports symbolic
* links then this method is used to read the target of the link, failing
* if the file is not a symbolic link. The target of the link need not exist.
* The returned {@code Path} object will be associated with the same file

* Returns a file attribute view of a given type.
*
* A file attribute view provides a read-only or updatable view of a
* set of file attributes. This method is intended to be used where the file
* attribute view defines type-safe methods to read or update the file
* attributes. The {@code type} parameter is the type of the attribute view
* required and the method returns an instance of that type if supported.
* The {@link BasicFileAttributeView} type supports access to the basic
* attributes of a file. Invoking this method to select a file attribute
* view of that type will always return an instance of that class.
*
* The {@code options} array may be used to indicate how symbolic links
* are handled by the resulting file attribute view for the case that the
* file is a symbolic link. By default, symbolic links are followed. If the
* option {@link LinkOption#NOFOLLOW_LINKS NOFOLLOW_LINKS} is present then
* symbolic links are not followed. This option is ignored by implementations
* that do not support symbolic links.
*
* Usage Example:
* Suppose we want read or set a file's ACL, if supported:
* The {@code type} parameter is the type of the attributes required
* and this method returns an instance of that type if supported. All
* implementations support a basic set of file attributes and so invoking
* this method with a {@code type} parameter of {@code
* BasicFileAttributes.class} will not throw {@code
* UnsupportedOperationException}.
*
* The {@code options} array may be used to indicate how symbolic links
* are handled for the case that the file is a symbolic link. By default,
* symbolic links are followed and the file attribute of the final target
* of the link is read. If the option {@link LinkOption#NOFOLLOW_LINKS
* NOFOLLOW_LINKS} is present then symbolic links are not followed.
*
* It is implementation specific if all file attributes are read as an
* atomic operation with respect to other file system operations.
*
* Usage Example:
* Suppose we want to read a file's attributes in bulk:
* The {@code attribute} parameter identifies the attribute to be set
* and takes the form:
* view-name is the {@link FileAttributeView#name name} of a {@link
* FileAttributeView} that identifies a set of file attributes. If not
* specified then it defaults to {@code "basic"}, the name of the file
* attribute view that identifies the basic set of file attributes common to
* many file systems. attribute-name is the name of the attribute
* within the set.
*
* The {@code options} array may be used to indicate how symbolic links
* are handled for the case that the file is a symbolic link. By default,
* symbolic links are followed and the file attribute of the final target
* of the link is set. If the option {@link LinkOption#NOFOLLOW_LINKS
* NOFOLLOW_LINKS} is present then symbolic links are not followed.
*
* Usage Example:
* Suppose we want to set the DOS "hidden" attribute:
* The {@code attribute} parameter identifies the attribute to be read
* and takes the form:
* view-name is the {@link FileAttributeView#name name} of a {@link
* FileAttributeView} that identifies a set of file attributes. If not
* specified then it defaults to {@code "basic"}, the name of the file
* attribute view that identifies the basic set of file attributes common to
* many file systems. attribute-name is the name of the attribute.
*
* The {@code options} array may be used to indicate how symbolic links
* are handled for the case that the file is a symbolic link. By default,
* symbolic links are followed and the file attribute of the final target
* of the link is read. If the option {@link LinkOption#NOFOLLOW_LINKS
* NOFOLLOW_LINKS} is present then symbolic links are not followed.
*
* Usage Example:
* Suppose we require the user ID of the file owner on a system that
* supports a "{@code unix}" view:
* The {@code attributes} parameter identifies the attributes to be read
* and takes the form:
* view-name is the {@link FileAttributeView#name name} of a {@link
* FileAttributeView} that identifies a set of file attributes. If not
* specified then it defaults to {@code "basic"}, the name of the file
* attribute view that identifies the basic set of file attributes common to
* many file systems.
*
* The attribute-list component is a comma separated list of
* zero or more names of attributes to read. If the list contains the value
* {@code "*"} then all attributes are read. Attributes that are not supported
* are ignored and will not be present in the returned map. It is
* implementation specific if all attributes are read as an atomic operation
* with respect to other file system operations.
*
* The following examples demonstrate possible values for the {@code
* attributes} parameter:
*
* The {@code options} array may be used to indicate how symbolic links
* are handled for the case that the file is a symbolic link. By default,

* Walks a file tree.
*
* This method walks a file tree rooted at a given starting file. The

* FileVisitor} invoked for each file encountered. File tree traversal
* completes when all accessible files in the tree have been visited, or a
* visit method returns a result of {@link FileVisitResult#TERMINATE
* TERMINATE}. Where a visit method terminates due an {@code IOException},
* an uncaught error, or runtime exception, then the traversal is terminated
* and the error or exception is propagated to the caller of this method.
*
* For each file encountered this method attempts to read its {@link
* java.nio.file.attribute.BasicFileAttributes}. If the file is not a
* directory then the {@link FileVisitor#visitFile visitFile} method is
* invoked with the file attributes. If the file attributes cannot be read,
* due to an I/O exception, then the {@link FileVisitor#visitFileFailed
* visitFileFailed} method is invoked with the I/O exception.
*
* Where the file is a directory, and the directory could not be opened,
* then the {@code visitFileFailed} method is invoked with the I/O exception,
* after which, the file tree walk continues, by default, at the next
* sibling of the directory.
*
* Where the directory is opened successfully, then the entries in the
* directory, and their descendants are visited. When all entries
* have been visited, or an I/O error occurs during iteration of the
* directory, then the directory is closed and the visitor's {@link
* FileVisitor#postVisitDirectory postVisitDirectory} method is invoked.
* The file tree walk then continues, by default, at the next sibling
* of the directory.
*
* By default, symbolic links are not automatically followed by this
* method. If the {@code options} parameter contains the {@link
* FileVisitOption#FOLLOW_LINKS FOLLOW_LINKS} option then symbolic links are
* followed. When following links, and the attributes of the target cannot
* be read, then this method attempts to get the {@code BasicFileAttributes}
* of the link. If they can be read then the {@code visitFile} method is
* invoked with the attributes of the link (otherwise the {@code visitFileFailed}
* method is invoked as specified above).
*
* If the {@code options} parameter contains the {@link
* FileVisitOption#FOLLOW_LINKS FOLLOW_LINKS} option then this method keeps
* track of directories visited so that cycles can be detected. A cycle
* arises when there is an entry in a directory that is an ancestor of the
* directory. Cycle detection is done by recording the {@link
* java.nio.file.attribute.BasicFileAttributes#fileKey file-key} of directories,
* or if file keys are not available, by invoking the {@link #isSameFile
* isSameFile} method to test if a directory is the same file as an
* ancestor. When a cycle is detected it is treated as an I/O error, and the
* {@link FileVisitor#visitFileFailed visitFileFailed} method is invoked with
* an instance of {@link FileSystemLoopException}.
*
* The {@code maxDepth} parameter is the maximum number of levels of
* directories to visit. A value of {@code 0} means that only the starting
* file is visited, unless denied by the security manager. A value of
* {@link Integer#MAX_VALUE MAX_VALUE} may be used to indicate that all
* levels should be visited. The {@code visitFile} method is invoked for all
* files, including directories, encountered at {@code maxDepth}, unless the
* basic file attributes cannot be read, in which case the {@code
* visitFileFailed} method is invoked.
*
* If a visitor returns a result of {@code null} then {@code
