## Uses of Interface
java.nio.file.attribute.FileAttribute

Packages that use FileAttribute
java.nio.channels: Defines channels, which represent connections to entities that are capable of performing I/O operations, such as files and sockets; defines selectors, for multiplexed, non-blocking I/O operations.
java.nio.file: Defines interfaces and classes for the Java virtual machine to access files, file attributes, and file systems.
java.nio.file.attribute: Interfaces and classes providing access to file and file system attributes.
java.nio.file.spi: Service-provider classes for the `java.nio.file` package.

### Uses of FileAttribute in java.nio.channels

Methods in java.nio.channels with parameters of type FileAttribute
`static AsynchronousFileChannel` AsynchronousFileChannel.`open(Path file, Set<? extends OpenOption> options, ExecutorService executor, FileAttribute<?>... attrs)` Opens or creates a file for reading and/or writing, returning an asynchronous file channel to access the file.
`static FileChannel` FileChannel.`open(Path path, Set<? extends OpenOption> options, FileAttribute<?>... attrs)` Opens or creates a file, returning a file channel to access the file.

### Uses of FileAttribute in java.nio.file

Methods in java.nio.file with parameters of type FileAttribute
`static Path` Files.`createDirectories(Path dir, FileAttribute<?>... attrs)` Creates a directory by creating all nonexistent parent directories first.
`static Path` Files.`createDirectory(Path dir, FileAttribute<?>... attrs)` Creates a new directory.
`static Path` Files.`createFile(Path path, FileAttribute<?>... attrs)` Creates a new and empty file, failing if the file already exists.
`static Path` Files.`createSymbolicLink(Path link, Path target, FileAttribute<?>... attrs)` Creates a symbolic link to a target (optional operation).
`static Path` Files.`createTempDirectory(String prefix, FileAttribute<?>... attrs)` Creates a new directory in the default temporary-file directory, using the given prefix to generate its name.
`static Path` Files.`createTempDirectory(Path dir, String prefix, FileAttribute<?>... attrs)` Creates a new directory in the specified directory, using the given prefix to generate its name.
`static Path` Files.`createTempFile(String prefix, String suffix, FileAttribute<?>... attrs)` Creates an empty file in the default temporary-file directory, using the given prefix and suffix to generate its name.
`static Path` Files.`createTempFile(Path dir, String prefix, String suffix, FileAttribute<?>... attrs)` Creates a new empty file in the specified directory, using the given prefix and suffix strings to generate its name.
`static SeekableByteChannel` Files.`newByteChannel(Path path, Set<? extends OpenOption> options, FileAttribute<?>... attrs)` Opens or creates a file, returning a seekable byte channel to access the file.
`SeekableByteChannel` SecureDirectoryStream.`newByteChannel(T path, Set<? extends OpenOption> options, FileAttribute<?>... attrs)` Opens or creates a file in this directory, returning a seekable byte channel to access the file.

### Uses of FileAttribute in java.nio.file.attribute

Methods in java.nio.file.attribute that return FileAttribute
`static FileAttribute<Set<PosixFilePermission>>` PosixFilePermissions.`asFileAttribute(Set<PosixFilePermission> perms)` Creates a `FileAttribute`, encapsulating a copy of the given file permissions, suitable for passing to the `createFile` or `createDirectory` methods.

### Uses of FileAttribute in java.nio.file.spi

Methods in java.nio.file.spi with parameters of type FileAttribute
`abstract void` FileSystemProvider.`createDirectory(Path dir, FileAttribute<?>... attrs)` Creates a new directory.
`void` FileSystemProvider.`createSymbolicLink(Path link, Path target, FileAttribute<?>... attrs)` Creates a symbolic link to a target.
`AsynchronousFileChannel` FileSystemProvider.`newAsynchronousFileChannel(Path path, Set<? extends OpenOption> options, ExecutorService executor, FileAttribute<?>... attrs)` Opens or creates a file for reading and/or writing, returning an asynchronous file channel to access the file.
`abstract SeekableByteChannel` FileSystemProvider.`newByteChannel(Path path, Set<? extends OpenOption> options, FileAttribute<?>... attrs)` Opens or creates a file, returning a seekable byte channel to access the file.
`FileChannel` FileSystemProvider.`newFileChannel(Path path, Set<? extends OpenOption> options, FileAttribute<?>... attrs)` Opens or creates a file for reading and/or writing, returning a file channel to access the file.
