  • Method Detail

    * #### values  
    public static [AccessMode](../../../java/nio/file/AccessMode.html "enum in java.nio.file")[] values()  
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:  
    for (AccessMode c : AccessMode.values())  
        System.out.println(c);  
    Returns:  
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared  
    * #### valueOf  
    public static [AccessMode](../../../java/nio/file/AccessMode.html "enum in java.nio.file") valueOf([String](../../../java/lang/String.html "class in java.lang") name)  
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match _exactly_ an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)  
    Parameters:  
    `name` \- the name of the enum constant to be returned.  
    Returns:  
    the enum constant with the specified name  
    Throws:  
    `[IllegalArgumentException](../../../java/lang/IllegalArgumentException.html "class in java.lang")` \- if this enum type has no constant with the specified name  
    `[NullPointerException](../../../java/lang/NullPointerException.html "class in java.lang")` \- if the argument is null
