Public methods
asFileAttribute
static fun asFileAttribute(perms: MutableSet<PosixFilePermission!>!): FileAttribute<MutableSet<PosixFilePermission!>!>!
Creates a FileAttribute
, encapsulating a copy of the given file permissions, suitable for passing to the createFile
or createDirectory
methods.
Parameters | |
---|---|
perms |
MutableSet<PosixFilePermission!>!: the set of permissions |
Return | |
---|---|
FileAttribute<MutableSet<PosixFilePermission!>!>! |
an attribute encapsulating the given file permissions with name "posix:permissions" |
Exceptions | |
---|---|
java.lang.ClassCastException |
if the set contains elements that are not of type PosixFilePermission |
fromString
static fun fromString(perms: String!): MutableSet<PosixFilePermission!>!
Returns the set of permissions corresponding to a given String
representation.
The perms
parameter is a String
representing the permissions. It has 9 characters that are interpreted as three sets of three. The first set refers to the owner's permissions; the next to the group permissions and the last to others. Within each set, the first character is 'r'
to indicate permission to read, the second character is 'w'
to indicate permission to write, and the third character is 'x'
for execute permission. Where a permission is not set then the corresponding character is set to '-'
.
Usage Example: Suppose we require the set of permissions that indicate the owner has read, write, and execute permissions, the group has read and execute permissions and others have none.
Set<PosixFilePermission> perms = PosixFilePermissions.fromString("rwxr-x---");
Parameters | |
---|---|
perms |
String!: string representing a set of permissions |
Return | |
---|---|
MutableSet<PosixFilePermission!>! |
the resulting set of permissions |
Exceptions | |

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException |
if the string cannot be converted to a set of permissions |

toString
static fun toString(perms: MutableSet<PosixFilePermission!>!): String!
Returns the String
representation of a set of permissions. It is guaranteed that the returned String
can be parsed by the fromString
method.
If the set contains null
or elements that are not of type PosixFilePermission
then these elements are ignored.
