/**
 * A {@code DirectoryStream} that defines operations on files that are located
 * relative to an open directory. A {@code SecureDirectoryStream} is intended
 * for use by sophisticated or security sensitive applications requiring to
 * traverse file trees or otherwise operate on directories in a race-free manner.
 * Race conditions can arise when a sequence of file operations cannot be
 * carried out in isolation. Each of the file operations defined by this
 * interface specify a relative {@link Path}. All access to the file is relative
 * to the open directory irrespective of if the directory is moved or replaced
 * by an attacker while the directory is open. A {@code SecureDirectoryStream}
 * may also be used as a virtual <em>working directory</em>.
 *
 * <p> A {@code SecureDirectoryStream} requires corresponding support from the
 * underlying operating system. Where an implementation supports this features
 * then the {@code DirectoryStream} returned by the {@link Path#newDirectoryStream
 * newDirectoryStream} method will be a {@code SecureDirectoryStream} and must
 * be cast to that type in order to invoke the methods defined by this interface.
 *
 * <p> As specified by {@code DirectoryStream}, the iterator's {@link
 * java.util.Iterator#remove() remove} method removes the directory entry for
 * the last element returned by the iterator. In the case of a {@code
 * SecureDirectoryStream} the {@code remove} method behaves as if by invoking
 * the {@link #deleteFile deleteFile} or {@link #deleteDirectory deleteDirectory}
 * methods defined by this interface. The {@code remove} may require to examine
 * the file to determine if the file is a directory, and consequently, it may
 * not be atomic with respect to other file system operations.
 *
 * <p> In the case of the default {@link java.nio.file.spi.FileSystemProvider
 * provider}, and a security manager is set, then the permission checks are
 * performed using the path obtained by resolving the given relative path
 * against the <i>original path</i> of the directory (irrespective of if the
 * directory is moved since it was opened).
