Definition of File

file
<file system> An element of data storage in a file system.
The history of computing is rich in varied kinds of files and file systems, whether ornate (e.g., Macintosh file system for a well-known case) or deficient (e.g., many simple pre-1980s file systems don't allow directories).
However, the prototypical file has these characteristics:
* It is a single sequence of bytes (but consider Macintosh resource forks).
* It has a finite length, unlike, e.g. a Unix device.
* It is stored in a non-volatile storage medium (but see ramdrive).
* It exists (nominally) in a directory.
* It has a name that it can be referred to by in file operations, possibly in combination with its path.
Additionally, a file system may associate other information with a file, such as permission bits or other file attributes; timestamps for file creation, last revision, and last access; revision numbers (a` la VMS), and other kinds of magic.

File
- class java.io..File 
public class File extends Object implements Serializable , Comparable 
Tree:java.lang.Object - java.io.File
An abstract representation of file and directory pathnames.

File(File, String)
- Constructor for class java.io.File 
public File (File  parent, String  child)
Creates a new File instance from a parent abstract pathname and a child pathname string. If parent is null then the new File instance is created as if by invoking the single-argument File constructor on the given child pathname string. Otherwise the parent abstract pathname is taken to denote a directory, and the child pathname string is taken to denote either a directory or a file. If the child pathname string is absolute then it is converted into a relative pathname in a system-dependent way. If parent is the empty abstract pathname then the new File instance is created by converting child into an abstract pathname and resolving the result against a system-dependent default directory. Otherwise each pathname string is converted into an abstract pathname and the child abstract pathname is resolved against the parent.Parameters: parent - The parent abstract pathname - The child pathname stringchild - The child pathname stringThrows: NullPointerException - If child is null

File(String)
- Constructor for class java.io.File 
public File (String  pathname)
Creates a new File instance by converting the given pathname string into an abstract pathname. If the given string is the empty string, then the result is the empty abstract pathname.Parameters: pathname - A pathname stringThrows: NullPointerException - If the pathname argument is null
