+/**
+ * A visitor of files. An implementation of this interface is provided to the
+ * {@link Files#walkFileTree walkFileTree} utility method to visit each file
+ * in a tree.
+ *
+ * <p> <b>Usage Examples:</b>
+ * Suppose we want to delete a file tree. In that case, each directory should
+ * be deleted after the entries in the directory are deleted.
+ * <pre>
+ *     Path start = ...
+ *     Files.walkFileTree(start, new SimpleFileVisitor&lt;Path&gt;() {
+ *         &#64;Override
+ *         public FileVisitResult visitFile(Path file, BasicFileAttributes attrs) {
+ *             try {
+ *                 file.delete(false);
+ *             } catch (IOException exc) {
+ *                 // failed to delete
+ *             }
+ *             return FileVisitResult.CONTINUE;
+ *         }
+ *         &#64;Override
+ *         public FileVisitResult postVisitDirectory(Path dir, IOException e) {
+ *             if (e == null) {
+ *                 try {
+ *                     dir.delete(false);
+ *                 } catch (IOException exc) {
+ *                     // failed to delete
+ *                 }
+ *             } else {
+ *                 // directory iteration failed
+ *             }
+ *             return FileVisitResult.CONTINUE;
+ *         }
+ *     });
+ * </pre>
+ * <p> Furthermore, suppose we want to copy a file tree rooted at a source
+ * directory to a target location. In that case, symbolic links should be
+ * followed and the target directory should be created before the entries in
+ * the directory are copied.
+ * <pre>
+ *     final Path source = ...
+ *     final Path target = ...
+ *
+ *     Files.walkFileTree(source, EnumSet.of(FileVisitOption.FOLLOW_LINKS), Integer.MAX_VALUE,
+ *         new SimpleFileVisitor&lt;Path&gt;() {
+ *             &#64;Override
+ *             public FileVisitResult preVisitDirectory(Path dir) {
+ *                 try {
+ *                     dir.copyTo(target.resolve(source.relativize(dir)));
+ *                 } catch (FileAlreadyExistsException e) {
+ *                      // ignore
+ *                 } catch (IOException e) {
+ *                     // copy failed, skip rest of directory and descendants
+ *                     return SKIP_SUBTREE;
+ *                 }
+ *                 return CONTINUE;
+ *             }
+ *             &#64;Override
+ *             public FileVisitResult visitFile(Path file, BasicFileAttributes attrs) {
+ *                 try {
+ *                     file.copyTo(target.resolve(source.relativize(file)));
+ *                 } catch (IOException e) {
+ *                     // copy failed
+ *                 }
+ *                 return CONTINUE;
