/**
 * Represents a file, and is used to access the content and structure of the file.
 * <p>
 * Files are arranged in a hierarchy. Each hierarchy forms a <i>file system</i>. A file system represents things like a
 * local OS file system, a windows share, an HTTP server, or the contents of a Zip file.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * There are two types of files: <i>Folders</i>, which contain other files, and <i>normal files</i>, which contain data,
 * or <i>content</i>. A folder may not have any content, and a normal file cannot contain other files.
 * </p>
 *
 * <h2>File Naming</h2>
 *
 * <p>
 * TODO - write this.
 * </p>
 *
 * <h2>Reading and Writing a File</h2>
 *
 * <p>
 * Reading and writing a file, and all other operations on the file's <i>content</i>, is done using the
 * {@link FileContent} object returned by {@link #getContent}.
 * </p>
 *
 * <h2>Creating and Deleting a File</h2>
 *
 * <p>
 * A file is created using either {@link #createFolder}, {@link #createFile}, or by writing to the file using one of the
 * {@link FileContent} methods.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * A file is deleted using {@link #delete}. Recursive deletion can be done using {@link #delete(FileSelector)}.
 * </p>
 *
 * <h2>Finding Files</h2>
 *
 * <p>
 * Other files in the <i>same</i> file system as this file can be found using:
 * </p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@link #findFiles} to find a set of matching descendants in in the same file system.</li>
 * <li>{@link #getChildren} and {@link #getChild} to find the children of this file.</li>
 * <li>{@link #getParent} to find the folder containing this file.</li>
 * <li>{@link #getFileSystem} to find another file in the same file system.</li>
 * <li>{@link #resolveFile} to find another file relative to this file.</li>
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * To find files in another file system, use a {@link FileSystemManager}.
 * </p>
 *
 * <h2>Iterating Files</h2>
 *
 * <p>
 * You can iterate over a FileObject using the Java "foreach" statement, which provides all descendants of a File
 * Object.
 * </p>
 *
 * <h2>Sorting Files</h2>
 *
 * <p>
 * Files may be sorted using {@link java.util.Arrays#sort(Object[]) Arrays.sort()} and
 * {@link java.util.Collections#sort(List) Collections.sort()}.
 * </p>
 *
 * @see FileSystemManager
 * @see FileContent
