/**
* Service-provider class for file systems. The methods defined by the {@link
* java.nio.file.Files} class will typically delegate to an instance of this
* class.
*
* <p> A file system provider is a concrete implementation of this class that
* implements the abstract methods defined by this class. A provider is
* identified by a {@code URI} {@link #getScheme() scheme}. The default provider
* is identified by the URI scheme "file". It creates the {@link FileSystem} that
* provides access to the file systems accessible to the Java virtual machine.
* The {@link FileSystems} class defines how file system providers are located
* and loaded. The default provider is typically a system-default provider but
* may be overridden if the system property {@code
* java.nio.file.spi.DefaultFileSystemProvider} is set. In that case, the
* provider has a one argument constructor whose formal parameter type is {@code
* FileSystemProvider}. All other providers have a zero argument constructor
* that initializes the provider.
*
* <p> A provider is a factory for one or more {@link FileSystem} instances. Each
* file system is identified by a {@code URI} where the URI's scheme matches
* the provider's {@link #getScheme scheme}. The default file system, for example,
* is identified by the URI {@code "file:///"}. A memory-based file system,
* for example, may be identified by a URI such as {@code "memory:///?name=logfs"}.
* The {@link #newFileSystem newFileSystem} method may be used to create a file
* system, and the {@link #getFileSystem getFileSystem} method may be used to
* obtain a reference to an existing file system created by the provider. Where
* a provider is the factory for a single file system then it is provider dependent
* if the file system is created when the provider is initialized, or later when
* the {@code newFileSystem} method is invoked. In the case of the default
* provider, the {@code FileSystem} is created when the provider is initialized.
*
* <p> All of the methods in this class are safe for use by multiple concurrent
* threads.
