The Extended Filesystem API

The extended filesystem API classes provide a common interface for multiple filesystem types. Also, they allow for dynamic loading of filesystem implementations. The API also provides a means to access file and filesystem specific information. Further information about these classes can be found in Chapter 3, NFS Classes for the Extended Filesystem, and the javadoc html files.

Using the Extended Filesystem API

The API includes classes similar to java.io.*, which have been extended to include file access. Sample code is included in the zip file.
