Nfs

java.lang.Object
- com.sun.nfs.Nfs

Direct Known Subclasses:

Nfs2
```
public abstract class Nfs
extends java.lang.Object
```
Container class for an NFS object: either a file or a directory. Herein are common methods that are not version specific. This class holds the file's filehandle, name, and attributes. If a regular file then data may be cached in an XDR buffer. If a directory then the string array for the entries will be cached. There's also a static hash table that's used to cache these Nfs objects.
