2572      * an uncaught error, or runtime exception, then the traversal is terminated
2573      * and the error or exception is propagated to the caller of this method.
2574      *

2579      * due to an I/O exception, then the {@link FileVisitor#visitFileFailed
2580      * visitFileFailed} method is invoked with the I/O exception.
2581      *
2582      * <p> Where the file is a directory, and the directory could not be opened,
2583      * then the {@code visitFileFailed} method is invoked with the I/O exception,

2586      *

2607      * arises when there is an entry in a directory that is an ancestor of the
2608      * directory. Cycle detection is done by recording the {@link
2609      * java.nio.file.attribute.BasicFileAttributes#fileKey file-key} of directories,
2610      * or if file keys are not available, by invoking the {@link #isSameFile
2611      * isSameFile} method to test if a directory is the same file as an
2612      * ancestor. When a cycle is detected it is treated as an I/O error, and the
2613      * {@link FileVisitor#visitFileFailed visitFileFailed} method is invoked with
2614      * an instance of {@link FileSystemLoopException}.

2619      * {@link Integer#MAX_VALUE MAX_VALUE} may be used to indicate that all

3523      * Return a {@code Stream} that is lazily populated with {@code
3524      * Path} by walking the file tree rooted at a given starting file.  The
3525      * file tree is traversed <em>depth-first</em>, the elements in the stream
3526      * are {@link Path} objects that are obtained as if by {@link
3527      * Path#resolve(Path) resolving} the relative path against {@code start}.
3528      *
3529      * <p> The {@code stream} walks the file tree as elements are consumed.
3530      * The {@code Stream} returned is guaranteed to have at least one
3531      * element, the starting file itself. For each file visited, the stream
3532      * attempts to read its {@link BasicFileAttributes}. If the file is a
3533      * directory and can be opened successfully, entries in the directory, and
3534      * their <em>descendants</em> will follow the directory in the stream as
3535      * they are encountered. When all entries have been visited, then the
3536      * directory is closed. The file tree walk then continues at the next
3537      * <em>sibling</em> of the directory.
3538      *
3539      * <p> The stream is <i>weakly consistent</i>. It does not freeze the
3540      * file tree while iterating, so it may (or may not) reflect updates to
3541      * the file tree that occur after returned from this method.
3542      *
3543      * <p> By default, symbolic links are not automatically followed by this
3544      * method. If the {@code options} parameter contains the {@link
3545      * FileVisitOption#FOLLOW_LINKS FOLLOW_LINKS} option then symbolic links are
3546      * followed. When following links, and the attributes of the target cannot
3547      * be read, then this method attempts to get the {@code BasicFileAttributes}
3548      * of the link.
3549      *
3550      * <p> If the {@code options} parameter contains the {@link
3551      * FileVisitOption#FOLLOW_LINKS FOLLOW_LINKS} option then the stream keeps
3552      * track of directories visited so that cycles can be detected. A cycle
3553      * arises when there is an entry in a directory that is an ancestor of the
3554      * directory. Cycle detection is done by recording the {@link
3555      * java.nio.file.attribute.BasicFileAttributes#fileKey file-key} of directories,
3556      * or if file keys are not available, by invoking the {@link #isSameFile
3557      * isSameFile} method to test if a directory is the same file as an
3558      * ancestor. When a cycle is detected it is treated as an I/O error with
3559      * an instance of {@link FileSystemLoopException}.
3560      *
3561      * <p> The {@code maxDepth} parameter is the maximum number of levels of
3562      * directories to visit. A value of {@code 0} means that only the starting
3563      * file is visited, unless denied by the security manager. A value of
3564      * {@link Integer#MAX_VALUE MAX_VALUE} may be used to indicate that all
3565      * levels should be visited.
3566      *
3567      * <p> When a security manager is installed and it denies access to a file
3568      * (or directory), then it is ignored and not included in the stream.
3569      *
3570      * <p> The returned stream contains references to one or more open directories.
3571      * The directories are closed by closing the stream.
