Method Detail

upcast

public static <A extends FileAttributeView> A upcast(A view,
                                                     String targetName,
                                                     Class<A> targetType)

Converts a subclass of targetType into a true view of type targetType. The behavior of the returned view is identical to the input view except for the name method, which returns targetName. If the view's name is already targetName, this method does nothing.

Parameters:

view - the view to convert

targetName - the name of the target view

targetType - the type of the target view, a subclass of FileAttributeView

Returns:

a version of the input view with the target type and name
