Java examples for File Path IO:Unix File
Based on the PosixFileAttributes class, you can extract the POSIX attributes
import java.io.IOException; import java.nio.file.Files; import java.nio.file.Path; import java.nio.file.Paths; import java.nio.file.attribute.PosixFileAttributes; public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { PosixFileAttributes attr = null; Path path = Paths.get("/home/folder1/folder2/folder3/test.txt"); try {/*from w ww.j a v a 2 s.co m*/ attr = Files.readAttributes(path, PosixFileAttributes.class); } catch (IOException e) { System.err.println(e); } System.out.println("File owner: " + attr.owner().getName()); System.out.println("File group: " + attr.group().getName()); System.out.println("File permissions: " + attr.permissions().toString()); } }
