public interface SecureDirectoryStream<T> extends DirectoryStream<T>
DirectoryStream
that defines operations on files that are located
relative to an open directory. A SecureDirectoryStream
is intended
for use by sophisticated or security sensitive applications requiring to
traverse file trees or otherwise operate on directories in a race-free manner.
Race conditions can arise when a sequence of file operations cannot be
carried out in isolation. Each of the file operations defined by this
interface specify a relative path. All access to the file is relative
to the open directory irrespective of if the directory is moved or replaced
by an attacker while the directory is open. A SecureDirectoryStream
may also be used as a virtual working directory.
A SecureDirectoryStream
requires corresponding support from the
underlying operating system. Where an implementation supports this features
then the DirectoryStream
returned by the newDirectoryStream
method will be a SecureDirectoryStream
and must
be cast to that type in order to invoke the methods defined by this interface.
In the case of the default provider
, and a security manager is set, then the permission checks are
performed using the path obtained by resolving the given relative path
against the original path of the directory (irrespective of if the
directory is moved since it was opened).

deleteDirectory(T path)
Deletes a directory.

Deletes a file.

getFileAttributeView(Class<V> type)
Returns a new file attribute view to access the file attributes of this
directory.

<V extends FileAttributeView> |
getFileAttributeView(T path,
Class<V> type,
LinkOption... options)
Returns a new file attribute view to access the file attributes of a file
in this directory.

Move a file from this directory to another directory.

newByteChannel(T path,
Set<? extends OpenOption> options,
FileAttribute<?>... attrs)
Opens or creates a file in this directory, returning a seekable byte
channel to access the file.

SecureDirectoryStream<T> |
newDirectoryStream(T path,

SecureDirectoryStream to iterate over the entries in the directory. |

SecureDirectoryStream<T> newDirectoryStream(T path, LinkOption... options) throws IOException
SecureDirectoryStream
to iterate over the entries in the directory.
This method works in exactly the manner specified by the newDirectoryStream
method for the case that
the path
parameter is an absolute
path.
When the parameter is a relative path then the directory to open is
relative to this open directory. The NOFOLLOW_LINKS
option may be used to
ensure that this method fails if the file is a symbolic link.
The new directory stream, once created, is not dependent upon the directory stream used to create it. Closing this directory stream has no effect upon newly created directory stream.

This method works in exactly the manner specified by the Files.newByteChannel
method for the
case that the path
parameter is an absolute
path. When the parameter is a relative path then the file to open or
create is relative to this open directory. In addition to the options
defined by the Files.newByteChannel
method, the NOFOLLOW_LINKS
option may be used to
ensure that this method fails if the file is a symbolic link.
The channel, once created, is not dependent upon the directory stream used to create it. Closing this directory stream has no effect upon the channel.

- In the case of the default provider, and a security manager is
installed, the checkRead
method is invoked to check read access to the path if the file
is opened for reading. The checkWrite
method is invoked to check write access to the path
if the file is opened for writing.void deleteFile(T path) throws IOException
Unlike the delete()
method, this method does
not first examine the file to determine if the file is a directory.
Whether a directory is deleted by this method is system dependent and
therefore not specified. If the file is a symbolic link, then the link
itself, not the final target of the link, is deleted. When the
parameter is a relative path then the file to delete is relative to
this open directory.

Unlike the delete()
method, this method

Whether non-directories are deleted by this method is system dependent and
therefore not specified. When the parameter is a relative path then the
directory to delete is relative to this open directory.

This method works in a similar manner to move
method when the ATOMIC_MOVE
option
is specified. That is, this method moves a file as an atomic file system
operation. If the srcpath
parameter is an absolute
path then it locates the source file. If the parameter is a
relative path then it is located relative to this open directory. If
the targetpath
parameter is absolute then it locates the target
file (the targetdir
parameter is ignored). If the parameter is
a relative path it is located relative to the open directory identified
by the targetdir
parameter. In all cases, if the target file
exists then it is implementation specific if it is replaced or this
method fails.

The resulting file attribute view can be used to read or update the
attributes of this (open) directory. The type
parameter specifies
the type of the attribute view and the method returns an instance of that
type if supported. Invoking this method to obtain a BasicFileAttributeView
always returns an instance of that class that is
bound to this open directory.
The state of resulting file attribute view is intimately connected
to this directory stream. Once the directory stream is closed
,
then all methods to read or update attributes will throw ClosedDirectoryStreamException
.

The resulting file attribute view can be used to read or update the
attributes of file in this directory. The type
parameter specifies
the type of the attribute view and the method returns an instance of that
type if supported. Invoking this method to obtain a BasicFileAttributeView
always returns an instance of that class that is
bound to the file in the directory.
The state of resulting file attribute view is intimately connected
to this directory stream. Once the directory stream closed
,
then all methods to read or update attributes will throw ClosedDirectoryStreamException
. The
file is not required to exist at the time that the file attribute view
is created but methods to read or update attributes of the file will
fail when invoked and the file does not exist.
