Interface TRex

All Known Implementing Classes:

TFile, TPath

@Immutable
public interface TRex

Defines common properties and operations of TFile and TPath. This interface is of little practical use and solely exists for providing a common abstraction layer with a common Javadoc. Application developers should not use it - hence the silly name.
