Class Overview
A specialized Writer that writes to a file in the file system.
All write requests made by calling methods in this class are directly
forwarded to the equivalent function of the underlying operating system.
Since this may induce some performance penalty, in particular if many small
write requests are made, a FileWriter is often wrapped by a
BufferedWriter.
