Method Detail

delete

public static void delete(File f)
                   throws IOException

Delete file or empty folder

Parameters:

f - File to be deleted

Throws:

IOException - if deletion of f fails. This may occur if f didn't exist when the method was called. This can therefore cause IOExceptions during race conditions when multiple concurrent threads all try to delete the same file.

delete

public static void delete(File f,
                          int options)
                   throws IOException

Delete file or folder

Parameters:

f - File to be deleted

options - deletion options, RECURSIVE for recursive deletion of a subtree, RETRY to retry when deletion failed. Retrying may help if the underlying file system doesn't allow deletion of files being read by another thread.

Throws:

IOException - if deletion of f fails. This may occur if f didn't exist when the method was called. This can therefore cause IOExceptions during race conditions when multiple concurrent threads all try to delete the same file. This exception is not thrown when IGNORE_ERRORS is set.

mkdir

public static void mkdir(File d)
                  throws IOException

Creates the directory named by this abstract pathname.

Parameters:

d - directory to be created

Throws:

IOException - if creation of d fails. This may occur if d did exist when the method was called. This can therefore cause IOExceptions during race conditions when multiple concurrent threads all try to create the same directory.

mkdir

public static void mkdir(File d,
                         boolean skipExisting)
                  throws IOException

Creates the directory named by this abstract pathname.

Parameters:

d - directory to be created

skipExisting - if true skip creation of the given directory if it already exists in the file system

Throws:

IOException - if creation of d fails. This may occur if d did exist when the method was called. This can therefore cause IOExceptions during race conditions when multiple concurrent threads all try to create the same directory.

mkdirs

public static void mkdirs(File d)
                   throws IOException

Creates the directory named by this abstract pathname, including any necessary but nonexistent parent directories. Note that if this operation fails it may have succeeded in creating some of the necessary parent directories.

Parameters:

d - directory to be created

Throws:

IOException - if creation of d fails. This may occur if d did exist when the method was called. This can therefore cause IOExceptions during race conditions when multiple concurrent threads all try to create the same directory.

mkdirs

public static void mkdirs(File d,
                          boolean skipExisting)
                   throws IOException

Creates the directory named by this abstract pathname, including any necessary but nonexistent parent directories. Note that if this operation fails it may have succeeded in creating some of the necessary parent directories.

Parameters:

d - directory to be created

skipExisting - if true skip creation of the given directory if it already exists in the file system

Throws:

IOException - if creation of d fails. This may occur if d did exist when the method was called. This can therefore cause IOExceptions during race conditions when multiple concurrent threads all try to create the same directory.

createNewFile

public static void createNewFile(File f)
                          throws IOException

Atomically creates a new, empty file named by this abstract pathname if and only if a file with this name does not yet exist. The check for the existence of the file and the creation of the file if it does not exist are a single operation that is atomic with respect to all other filesystem activities that might affect the file.

Note: this method should not be used for file-locking, as the resulting protocol cannot be made to work reliably. The FileLock facility should be used instead.

Parameters:

f - the file to be created

Throws:

IOException - if the named file already exists or if an I/O error occurred
