!  * <h3><a id="interop">Interoperability</a></h3>
   * <p> The {@link java.io.File} class defines the {@link java.io.File#toPath
   * toPath} method to construct a {@link java.nio.file.Path} by converting
   * the abstract path represented by the {@code java.io.File} object. The resulting
   * {@code Path} can be used to operate on the same file as the {@code File}
   * object. The {@code Path} specification provides further information
   * on the <a href="Path.html#interop">interoperability</a> between {@code Path}
   * and {@code java.io.File} objects. </p>

!  * <h3>Visibility</h3>
   * <p> The view of the files and file system provided by classes in this package are
   * guaranteed to be consistent with other views provided by other instances in the
   * same Java virtual machine.  The view may or may not, however, be consistent with
   * the view of the file system as seen by other concurrently running programs due
   * to caching performed by the underlying operating system and delays induced by
   * network-filesystem protocols. This is true regardless of the language in which
   * these other programs are written, and whether they are running on the same machine
   * or on some other machine.  The exact nature of any such inconsistencies are
   * system-dependent and are therefore unspecified. </p>

   * <p> The {@link java.nio.file.StandardOpenOption#SYNC SYNC} and {@link

   * to require that updates to the file are written synchronously to the underlying
