Atomically move and rename an instance of Path

Question

Given the instance Path path, I have the following questions:

• How to rename a file in which points path, without resorting to the old API File, if possible, I still could not find it?

• Is it possible to physically move a physical file to a new directory and rename it at the same time?

I am using Java 8, but new things for the class pathhave been added for sure, but are not sure if any help can answer this question.

Answer 1

Regarding your first question, since Java 7 you can use Files#move:

Files.move(path, targetPath);

, , ATOMIC_MOVE:

import static java.nio.file.StandardCopyOption.ATOMIC_MOVE;

Files.move(path, targetPath, ATOMIC_MOVE);

, :
