/**
 * This class represents access to a file or directory.  A FilePermission consists
 * of a pathname and a set of actions valid for that pathname.
 * <P>
 * Pathname is the pathname of the file or directory granted the specified
 * actions. A pathname that ends in "/*" (where "/" is
 * the file separator character, <code>File.separatorChar</code>) indicates
 * all the files and directories contained in that directory. A pathname
 * that ends with "/-" indicates (recursively) all files
 * and subdirectories contained in that directory. A pathname consisting of
 * the special token "&lt;&lt;ALL FILES&gt;&gt;" matches <b>any</b> file.
 * <P>
 * Note: A pathname consisting of a single "*" indicates all the files
 * in the current directory, while a pathname consisting of a single "-" 
 * indicates all the files in the current directory and
 * (recursively) all files and subdirectories contained in the current 
 * directory.
 * <P>
 * The actions to be granted are passed to the constructor in a string containing 
 * a list of one or more comma-separated keywords. The possible keywords are
 * "read", "write", "execute", and "delete". Their meaning is defined as follows:
 * <P>
 * <DL> 
 *    <DT> read <DD> read permission
 *    <DT> write <DD> write permission
 *    <DT> execute 
 *    <DD> execute permission. Allows <code>Runtime.exec</code> to
 *         be called. Corresponds to <code>SecurityManager.checkExec</code>.
 *    <DT> delete
 *    <DD> delete permission. Allows <code>File.delete</code> to
 *         be called. Corresponds to <code>SecurityManager.checkDelete</code>.
 * </DL>
 * <P>
 * The actions string is converted to lowercase before processing.
 * <P>
 * Be careful when granting FilePermissions. Think about the implications 
 * of granting read and especially write access to various files and 
 * directories. The "&lt;&lt;ALL FILES>>" permission with write action is 
 * especially dangerous. This grants permission to write to the entire 
 * file system. One thing this effectively allows is replacement of the 
 * system binary, including the JVM runtime environment.
 * 
 * <p>Please note: Code can always read a file from the same
 * directory it's in (or a subdirectory of that directory); it does not
 * need explicit permission to do so.
