| This package defines utility classes for working with streams, readers, |
| writers and files. The most commonly used classes are described here: |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <b>IOUtils</b> is the most frequently used class. |
| It provides operations to read, write, copy and close streams. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <b>FileUtils</b> provides operations based around the JDK File class. |
| These include reading, writing, copying, comparing and deleting. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <b>FilenameUtils</b> provides utilities based on filenames. |
| This utility class manipulates filenames without using File objects. |
| It aims to simplify the transition between Windows and Unix. |
| Before using this class however, you should consider whether you should |
| be using File objects. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <b>FileSystemUtils</b> allows access to the filing system in ways the JDK |
| does not support. At present this allows you to get the free space on a drive. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <b>EndianUtils</b> swaps data between Big-Endian and Little-Endian formats. |
| </p> |
