2631      * an uncaught error, or runtime exception, then the traversal is terminated
2632      * and the error or exception is propagated to the caller of this method.

2638      * due to an I/O exception, then the {@link FileVisitor#visitFileFailed
2639      * visitFileFailed} method is invoked with the I/O exception.
2640      *
2641      * <p> Where the file is a directory, and the directory could not be opened,
2642      * then the {@code visitFileFailed} method is invoked with the I/O exception,

2645      *

2659      * of the link. If they can be read then the {@code visitFile} method is

2665      * track of directories visited so that cycles can be detected. A cycle
2666      * arises when there is an entry in a directory that is an ancestor of the
2667      * directory. Cycle detection is done by recording the {@link
2668      * java.nio.file.attribute.BasicFileAttributes#fileKey file-key} of directories,
2669      * or if file keys are not available, by invoking the {@link #isSameFile
2670      * isSameFile} method to test if a directory is the same file as an
2671      * ancestor. When a cycle is detected it is treated as an I/O error, and the
2672      * {@link FileVisitor#visitFileFailed visitFileFailed} method is invoked with

3978      * {@link StandardCharsets#US_ASCII US-ASCII} and
3979      * {@link StandardCharsets#ISO_8859_1 ISO-8859-1}.  Such
3980      * <em>line-optimal</em> charsets have the property that the encoded bytes

3982      * identifiable from other encoded characters when randomly accessing the

3984      *
3985      * <p> For non-<em>line-optimal</em> charsets the stream source's
3986      * spliterator has poor splitting properties, similar to that of a
3987      * spliterator associated with an iterator or that associated with a stream
3988      * returned from {@link BufferedReader#lines()}.  Poor splitting properties
3989      * can result in poor parallel stream performance.
3990      *
3991      * <p> For <em>line-optimal</em> charsets the stream source's spliterator
3992      * has good splitting properties, assuming the file contains a regular
3993      * sequence of lines.  Good splitting properties can result in good parallel
3994      * stream performance.  The spliterator for a <em>line-optimal</em> charset
3995      * takes advantage of the charset properties (a line feed or a carriage
