Given a file and we have to get, print the file's owner name.

Following packages are using here, to implement this program,

  • java.nio.file.*
  • java.nio.file.attribute.*

There are following two important classes, which are using this program to get the file's owner name.

  • FileOwnerAttributeView
  • UserPrincipal

The method getOwner() gives the owner's name to the object of UserPrincipal class, which can be accessed through getName() method.

Program to get owner's name of a file in java

import java.nio.file.*;
import java.nio.file.attribute.*;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class OwnerOfFile {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    // create object of scanner.
    Scanner KB = new Scanner(System.in);

    // enter path here.
    System.out.print("Enter the file path : ");
    String A = KB.next();
    Path path = Paths.get(A);

    // create object of file attribute.
    FileOwnerAttributeView view = Files.getFileAttributeView(path,
      FileOwnerAttributeView.class);

    // this will get the owner information.
    UserPrincipal userPrincipal = view.getOwner();

    // print information.
    System.out.println("Owner of the file is :" + userPrincipal.getName());
  }
}

Output
