- Method Detail
  - setMode
```
void setMode(File path,
             int perms)
      throws NativeException
```
    Sets the mode for the given file.
    
    Throws:
    
    NativeException - On failure.
  - getMode
```
int getMode(File path)
     throws NativeException
```
    Gets the mode for the given file.
    
    Throws:
    
    NativeException - On failure.
  - symlink
```
void symlink(File link,
             String contents)
      throws NativeException
```
    Creates a symbolic link with given contents.
    
    Throws:
    
    NativeException - On failure.
  - readLink
```
String readLink(File link)
         throws NativeException
```
    Reads the contents of a symbolic link.
    
    Throws:
    
    NativeException - On failure.
  - stat
```
PosixFileInfo stat(File path)
            throws NativeException
```
    Returns basic information about the given file. Returns whatever file details can be efficiently calculated in a single system call, which is more efficient that querying these details separately.
    When the file references a symlink, details about the symlink is returned, not the target of the symlink.
    
    Specified by:
    
    stat in interface Files
    
    Parameters:
    
    path - The path of the file to get details of. Follows symlinks to the parent directory of this file.
    
    Returns:
    
    Details of the file. Returns details with type FileInfo.Type.Missing for a file that does not exist.
    
    Throws:
    
    NativeException - On failure to query the file information.
    
    FilePermissionException - When the user has insufficient permissions to query the file information
  - stat
```
PosixFileInfo stat(File file,
                   boolean linkTarget)
            throws NativeException
```
    Returns basic information about the given file. Returns whatever file details can be efficiently calculated in a single system call, which is more efficient that querying these details separately.
    
    Specified by:
    
    stat in interface Files
    
    Parameters:
    
    file - The path of the file to get details of. Follows symlinks to the parent directory of this file.
    
    linkTarget - When true and the file is a symlink, return details of the target of the symlink instead of details of the symlink itself.
    
    Returns:
    
    Details of the file. Returns details with type FileInfo.Type.Missing for a file that does not exist.
    
    Throws:
    
    NativeException - On failure to query the file information.
    
    FilePermissionException - When the user has insufficient permissions to query the file information
