## Enum Constant Details

### CONTINUE

public static final FileVisitResult CONTINUE
Continue. When returned from a `preVisitDirectory` method then the entries in the directory should also be visited.

### TERMINATE

public static final FileVisitResult TERMINATE
Terminate.

### SKIP_SUBTREE

public static final FileVisitResult SKIP_SUBTREE
Continue without visiting the entries in this directory. This result is only meaningful when returned from the `preVisitDirectory` method; otherwise this result type is the same as returning `CONTINUE`.

### SKIP_SIBLINGS

public static final FileVisitResult SKIP_SIBLINGS
Continue without visiting the siblings of this file or directory. If returned from the `preVisitDirectory` method then the entries in the directory are also skipped and the `postVisitDirectory` method is not invoked.

## Method Details

### values

public static FileVisitResult[] values()
