| 34 | +/** | |
| 35 | + * Provides an interface to a file system and is the factory for objects to | |
| 36 | + * access files and other objects in the file system. | |
| 37 | + * | |
| 38 | + * <p> The default file system, obtained by invoking the {@link FileSystems#getDefault | |
| 39 | + * FileSystems.getDefault} method, provides access to the file system that is | |
| 40 | + * accessible to the Java virtual machine. The {@link FileSystems} class defines | |
| 41 | + * methods to create file systems that provide access to other types of (custom) | |
| 42 | + * file systems. | |
| 43 | + * | |
| 44 | + * <p> A file system is the factory for several types of objects: | |
| 45 | + * | |
| 46 | + * <ul> | |
| 47 | + * <li><p> The {@link #getPath getPath} method converts a system dependent | |
| 48 | + * <em>path string</em>, returning a {@link Path} object that may be used | |
| 49 | + * to locate and access a file. </p></li> | |
| 50 | + * <li><p> The {@link #getPathMatcher getPathMatcher} method is used | |
| 51 | + * to create a {@link PathMatcher} that performs match operations on | |
| 52 | + * paths. </p></li> | |
| 53 | + * <li><p> The {@link #getFileStores getFileStores} method returns an iterator | |
| 54 | + * over the underlying {@link FileStore file-stores}. </p></li> | |
| 55 | + * <li><p> The {@link #getUserPrincipalLookupService getUserPrincipalLookupService} | |
| 56 | + * method returns the {@link UserPrincipalLookupService} to lookup users or | |
| 57 | + * groups by name. </p></li> | |
| 58 | + * <li><p> The {@link #newWatchService newWatchService} method creates a | |
| 59 | + * {@link WatchService} that may be used to watch objects for changes and | |
| 60 | + * events. </p></li> | |
| 61 | + * </ul> | |
| 62 | + * | |
| 63 | + * <p> File systems vary greatly. In some cases the file system is a single | |
| 64 | + * hierarchy of files with one top-level root directory. In other cases it may | |
| 65 | + * have several distinct file hierarchies, each with its own top-level root | |
| 66 | + * directory. The {@link #getRootDirectories getRootDirectories} method may be | |
| 67 | + * used to iterate over the root directories in the file system. A file system | |
| 68 | + * is typically composed of one or more underlying {@link FileStore file-stores} | |
| 69 | + * that provide the storage for the files. Theses file stores can also vary in | |
| 70 | + * the features they support, and the file attributes or <em>meta-data</em> that | |
| 71 | + * they associate with files. | |
| 72 | + * | |
| 73 | + * <p> A file system is open upon creation and can be closed by invoking its | |
| 74 | + * {@link #close() close} method. Once closed, any further attempt to access | |
| 75 | + * objects in the file system cause {@link ClosedFileSystemException} to be | |
| 76 | + * thrown. File systems created by the default {@link FileSystemProvider provider} | |
| 77 | + * cannot be closed. | |
| 78 | + * | |
| 79 | + * <p> A {@code FileSystem} can provide read-only or read-write access to the | |
| 80 | + * file system. Whether or not a file system provides read-only access is | |
| 81 | + * established when the {@code FileSystem} is created and can be tested by invoking | |
| 82 | + * its {@link #isReadOnly() isReadOnly} method. Attempts to write to file stores | |
| 83 | + * by means of an object associated with a read-only file system throws {@link | |
| 84 | + * ReadOnlyFileSystemException}. | |
| 85 | + * | |
| 86 | + * <p> File systems are safe for use by multiple concurrent threads. The {@link | |
| 87 | + * #close close} method may be invoked at any time to close a file system but | |
| 88 | + * whether a file system is <i>asynchronously closeable</i> is provider specific | |
| 89 | + * and therefore unspecified. In other words, if a thread is accessing an | |
| 90 | + * object in a file system, and another thread invokes the {@code close} method | |
| 91 | + * then it may require to block until the first operation is complete. Closing | |
| 92 | + * a file system causes all open channels, watch services, and other {@link | |
| 93 | + * Closeable closeable} objects associated with the file system to be closed. | |

| 248 | + * elements then the value of the {@code first} parameter is the path string | |

| 250 | + * non-empty string, including {@code first}, is considered to be a sequence | |
| 251 | + * of name elements (see {@link Path}) and is joined to form a path string. | |
| 252 | + * The details as to how the Strings are joined is provider specific but | |

| 264 | + * characters that cannot be converted to characters that are <em>legal</em> | |
| 265 | + * to the file store. For example, on UNIX systems, the NUL (\u0000) | |
| 266 | + * character is not allowed to be present in a path. An implementation may | |
| 267 | + * choose to reject path strings that contain names that are longer than those | |
| 268 | + * allowed by any file store, and where an implementation supports a complex | |
| 269 | + * path syntax, it may choose to reject path strings that are <em>badly | |
| 270 | + * formed</em>. | |
| 271 | + * | |
| 272 | + * <p> In the case of the default provider, path strings are parsed based | |
| 273 | + * on the definition of paths at the platform or virtual file system level. | |
| 274 | + * For example, an operating system may not allow specific characters to be | |
| 275 | + * present in a file name, but a specific underlying file store may impose | |
| 276 | + * different or additional restrictions on the set of legal | |
| 277 | + * characters. | |
| 278 | + * | |
| 279 | + * <p> This method throws {@link InvalidPathException} when the path string | |

| 356 | + * <p> The following rules are used to interpret glob patterns: | |
| 357 | + * | |
| 358 | + * <p> <ul> | |
| 359 | + * <li><p> The {@code *} character matches zero or more {@link Character | |
| 360 | + * characters} of a {@link Path#getName(int) name} component without | |
| 361 | + * crossing directory boundaries. </p></li> | |
| 362 | + * | |
| 363 | + * <li><p> The {@code **} characters matches zero or more {@link Character | |
| 364 | + * characters} crossing directory boundaries. </p></li> | |
| 365 | + * | |
| 366 | + * <li><p> The {@code ?} character matches exactly one character of a | |
| 367 | + * name component.</p></li> | |
| 368 | + * | |
| 369 | + * <li><p> The backslash character ({@code \}) is used to escape characters | |
| 370 | + * that would otherwise be interpreted as special characters. The expression | |
| 371 | + * {@code \\} matches a single backslash and "\{" matches a left brace | |
| 372 | + * for example. </p></li> | |
| 373 | + * | |
| 374 | + * <li><p> The {@code [ ]} characters are a <i>bracket expression</i> that | |
| 375 | + * match a single character of a name component out of a set of characters. | |
| 376 | + * For example, {@code [abc]} matches {@code "a"}, {@code "b"}, or {@code "c"}. | |
| 377 | + * The hyphen ({@code -}) may be used to specify a range so {@code [a-z]} | |
| 378 | + * specifies a range that matches from {@code "a"} to {@code "z"} (inclusive). | |
| 379 | + * These forms can be mixed so [abce-g] matches {@code "a"}, {@code "b"}, | |
| 380 | + * {@code "c"}, {@code "e"}, {@code "f"} or {@code "g"}. If the character | |
| 381 | + * after the {@code [} is a {@code !} then it is used for negation so {@code | |
| 382 | + * [!a-c]} matches any character except {@code "a"}, {@code "b"}, or {@code | |
| 383 | + * "c"}. | |
| 384 | + * <p> Within a bracket expression the {@code *}, {@code ?} and {@code \} | |
| 385 | + * characters match themselves. The ({@code -}) character matches itself if | |
| 386 | + * it is the first character within the brackets, or the first character | |
| 387 | + * after the {@code !} if negating.</p></li> | |
| 388 | + * | |
| 389 | + * <li><p> The {@code { }} characters are a group of subpatterns, where | |
| 390 | + * the group matches if any subpattern in the group matches. The {@code ","} | |
