2605      * <p> Where the file is a directory, and the directory could not be opened,
2606      * then the {@code visitFileFailed} method is invoked with the I/O exception,

2634      * isSameFile} method to test if a directory is the same file as an
2635      * ancestor. When a cycle is detected it is treated as an I/O error, and the

3547      * Return a {@code Stream} that is lazily populated with {@code
3548      * Path} by walking the file tree rooted at a given starting file.  The
3549      * file tree is traversed <em>depth-first</em>, the elements in the stream
3550      * are {@link Path} objects that are obtained as if by {@link
3551      * Path#resolve(Path) resolving} the relative path against {@code start}.
3552      *
3553      * <p> The {@code stream} walks the file tree as elements are consumed.
3554      * The {@code Stream} returned is guaranteed to have at least one
3555      * element, the starting file itself. For each file visited, the stream
3556      * attempts to read its {@link BasicFileAttributes}. If the file is a
3557      * directory and can be opened successfully, entries in the directory, and
3558      * their <em>descendants</em> will follow the directory in the stream as
3559      * they are encountered. When all entries have been visited, then the
3560      * directory is closed. The file tree walk then continues at the next
3561      * <em>sibling</em> of the directory.
3562      *
3563      * <p> The stream is <i>weakly consistent</i>. It does not freeze the
3564      * file tree while iterating, so it may (or may not) reflect updates to
3565      * the file tree that occur after returned from this method.
3566      *
3567      * <p> By default, symbolic links are not automatically followed by this
3568      * method. If the {@code options} parameter contains the {@link
3569      * FileVisitOption#FOLLOW_LINKS FOLLOW_LINKS} option then symbolic links are
3570      * followed. When following links, and the attributes of the target cannot
3571      * be read, then this method attempts to get the {@code BasicFileAttributes}
3572      * of the link.
3573      *
3574      * <p> If the {@code options} parameter contains the {@link
3575      * FileVisitOption#FOLLOW_LINKS FOLLOW_LINKS} option then the stream keeps
3576      * track of directories visited so that cycles can be detected. A cycle
3577      * arises when there is an entry in a directory that is an ancestor of the
3578      * directory. Cycle detection is done by recording the {@link
3579      * java.nio.file.attribute.BasicFileAttributes#fileKey file-key} of directories,
3580      * or if file keys are not available, by invoking the {@link #isSameFile
3581      * isSameFile} method to test if a directory is the same file as an
3582      * ancestor. When a cycle is detected it is treated as an I/O error with
3583      * an instance of {@link FileSystemLoopException}.
3584      *
3585      * <p> The {@code maxDepth} parameter is the maximum number of levels of
3586      * directories to visit. A value of {@code 0} means that only the starting
3587      * file is visited, unless denied by the security manager. A value of
3588      * {@link Integer#MAX_VALUE MAX_VALUE} may be used to indicate that all
3589      * levels should be visited.
3590      *
3591      * <p> When a security manager is installed and it denies access to a file
3592      * (or directory), then it is ignored and not included in the stream.
3593      *
3594      * <p> The returned stream contains references to one or more open directories.
3595      * The directories are closed by closing the stream.
