/**
* Provides classes for working with streams, readers, writers and files. The most commonly used classes are described here:
* <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 file names 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>
