What the File class in java.io package represent?
<p>I am a little bit confuse about what the File class represent because some people says that it's does not describe a File but rather a Path, and the <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/io/File.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">javadocs</a> says "An abstract representation of file and directory pathnames. So, what is the correct sentence ?</p>
