Method Details
-
getBaseName
Returns the base name of this file. The base name is the last element of the file name. For example the base name of/somefolder/somefile
issomefile
.The root file of a file system has an empty base name.
- Returns:
- The base name. Never returns null.
-
getPath
Returns the absolute path of this file, within its file system. This path is normalized, so that.
and..
elements have been removed. Also, the path only contains/
as its separator character. The path always starts with/
The root of a file system has
/
as its absolute path.- Returns:
- The path. Never returns null.
-
getPathDecoded
Returns the absolute path of this file, within its file system. This path is normalized, so that.
and..
elements have been removed. Also, the path only contains/
as its separator character. The path always starts with/
The root of a file system has
/
as its absolute path.In contrast to
getPath()
the path is decoded i.e. all %nn stuff replaced by its character.- Returns:
- The path. Never returns null.
- Throws:
FileSystemException
- if the path is not correctly encoded
-
getExtension
Returns the extension of this file name.- Returns:
- The extension. Returns an empty string if the name has no extension.
-
getDepth
int getDepth()Returns the depth of this file name, within its file system. The depth of the root of a file system is 0. The depth of any other file is 1 + the depth of its parent.- Returns:
- The depth of this file name.
-
getScheme

- The URI scheme of this file.
-
getURI
Returns the absolute URI of this file.- Returns:
- the absolute URI of this file.
-
getRootURI
Returns the root URI of the file system this file belongs to.- Returns:
- the root URI.
-
getRoot
Finds the root of the file system.- Returns:
- the file system root.
-
getParent
Returns the file name of the parent of this file. The root of a file system has no parent.- Returns:
- A
FileName
object representing the parent name. Returns null for the root of a file system.
-

name
- The name to convert to a relative path.- Returns:
- The relative name.
- Throws:
FileSystemException
- On error.
-
isAncestor
Determines if another file name is an ancestor of this file name.- Parameters:
ancestor
- The FileName to check.- Returns:
- true if another file name is an ancestor of this file name.
-
isDescendent
Determines if another file name is a descendent of this file name.- Parameters:
descendent

- true if the other FileName is a descendent of this file name.
-
isDescendent
Determines if another file name is a descendent of this file name.- Parameters:
descendent
- the FileName to check.nameScope

getType
Returns the requested or current type of this name.The "requested" type is the one determined during resolving the name. In this case the name is a
FileType.FOLDER
if it ends with an "/" else it will be aFileType.FILE

- Returns:
FileType.FOLDER
orFileType.FILE
