Class Descriptions

This section describes the additional methods that are not currently part of the java.io classes. For example, the first entry, called Xfile, describes the methods that are in the com.sun.xfile.XFile class but not in the java.io.File class. All com.sun.xfile classes that have a counterpart in the java.io classes are generally a superset of the java.io classes in the methods provided, not including constructors. File descriptors are not supported and constructors that use a java.io.File* class now use a com.sun.xfile.XFile* class. Also shown are the few new interfaces and classes defined by the extended filesystem. A complete description of the API can be found in the javadoc files included in the release.
