## Uses of Class
java.io.File

Packages that use File
java.io | Provides for system input and output through data streams, serialization and the file system.
java.lang | Provides classes that are fundamental to the design of the Java programming language.
java.util.jar | Provides classes for reading and writing the JAR (Java ARchive) file format, which is based on the standard ZIP file format with an optional manifest file.
java.util.zip | Provides classes for reading and writing the standard ZIP and GZIP file formats.

Uses of File in java.io

Methods in java.io that return File
`File` | `File.getParentFile()` Returns the abstract pathname of this abstract pathname's parent, or `null` if this pathname does not name a parent directory.
`File` | `File.getAbsoluteFile()` Returns the absolute form of this abstract pathname.
`File` | `File.getCanonicalFile()` Returns the canonical form of this abstract pathname.
`File[]` | `File.listFiles()` Returns an array of abstract pathnames denoting the files in the directory denoted by this abstract pathname.
`File[]` | `File.listFiles(FilenameFilter filter)` Returns an array of abstract pathnames denoting the files and directories in the directory denoted by this abstract pathname that satisfy the specified filter.
`File[]` | `File.listFiles(FileFilter filter)` Returns an array of abstract pathnames denoting the files and directories in the directory denoted by this abstract pathname that satisfy the specified filter.
`static File[]` | `File.listRoots()` List the available filesystem roots.
`static File` | `File.createTempFile(String prefix, String suffix, File directory)` Creates a new empty file in the specified directory, using the given prefix and suffix strings to generate its name.
`static File` | `File.createTempFile(String prefix, String suffix)` Creates an empty file in the default temporary-file directory, using the given prefix and suffix to generate its name.

Methods in java.io with parameters of type File
`boolean` | `FileFilter.accept(File pathname)` Tests whether or not the specified abstract pathname should be included in a pathname list.
`boolean` | `File.renameTo(File dest)` Renames the file denoted by this abstract pathname.
`static File` | `File.createTempFile(String prefix, String suffix, File directory)` Creates a new empty file in the specified directory, using the given prefix and suffix strings to generate its name.
`int` | `File.compareTo(File pathname)` Compares two abstract pathnames lexicographically.
`boolean` | `FilenameFilter.accept(File dir, String name)` Tests if a specified file should be included in a file list.

Constructors in java.io with parameters of type File
`FileOutputStream(File file)` Creates a file output stream to write to the file represented by the specified `File` object.
`File(File parent, String child)` Creates a new `File` instance from a parent abstract pathname and a child pathname string.
`FileReader(File file)` Creates a new `FileReader`, given the `File` to read from.
`FileWriter(File file)` Constructs a FileWriter object given a File object.
`RandomAccessFile(File file, String mode)` Creates a random access file stream to read from, and optionally to write to, the file specified by the `File` argument.
`FileInputStream(File file)` Creates a `FileInputStream` by opening a connection to an actual file, the file named by the `File` object `file` in the file system.

Uses of File in java.lang

Methods in java.lang with parameters of type File
`Process` | `Runtime.exec(String command, String[] envp, File dir)` Executes the specified string command in a separate process with the specified environment and working directory.
`Process` | `Runtime.exec(String[] cmdarray, String[] envp, File dir)` Executes the specified command and arguments in a separate process with the specified environment and working directory.

Uses of File in java.util.jar

Constructors in java.util.jar with parameters of type File
`JarFile(File file)` Creates a new `JarFile` to read from the specified `File` object.
`JarFile(File file, boolean verify)` Creates a new `JarFile` to read from the specified `File` object.
`JarFile(File file, boolean verify, int mode)` Creates a new `JarFile` to read from the specified `File` object in the specified mode.

Uses of File in java.util.zip

Constructors in java.util.zip with parameters of type File
`ZipFile(File file, int mode)` Opens a new `ZipFile` to read from the specified `File` object in the specified mode.
`ZipFile(File file)` Opens a ZIP file for reading given the specified File object.
