It serves as an interface for specific attribute views like BasicFileAttributeView, DosFileAttributeView, and others that define supported attribute types.
Each specific attribute view offers type-safe methods for reading or updating the file attributes it supports.
The name() method is available to retrieve the name of the attribute view being used.
A file attribute view that provides a view of the file attributes commonly
associated with files on file systems used by operating systems that implement
the Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX) family of standards.
A file attribute view that provides a view of a file's user-defined
attributes, sometimes known as extended attributes.
An object that provides a read-only or updatable view of non-opaque

Its subclasses, such as `AclFileAttributeView`, `BasicFileAttributeView`, and others, define specific attribute sets. These views allow reading or updating attributes like Access Control Lists, basic file properties, DOS attributes, file ownership, and POSIX attributes. The `name()` method, common to all views, returns the specific attribute view's name, enabling identification and interaction.\n"]]
