## org.apache.commons.io.filefilter
Class EmptyFileFilter

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.commons.io.filefilter.AbstractFileFilter
          org.apache.commons.io.filefilter.EmptyFileFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:
  FileFilter, FilenameFilter, Serializable, IOFileFilter

    public class EmptyFileFilter

extends AbstractFileFilter
implements Serializable

This filter accepts files or directories that are empty.

If the `File` is a directory it checks that it contains no files.

Example, showing how to print out a list of the current directory's empty files/directories:

     File dir = new File(".");
     String[] files = dir.list( EmptyFileFilter.EMPTY );
     for ( int i = 0; i < files.length; i++ ) {
         System.out.println(files[i]);
     }

Example, showing how to print out a list of the current directory's non-empty files/directories:

     File dir = new File(".");
     String[] files = dir.list( EmptyFileFilter.NOT_EMPTY );
     for ( int i = 0; i < files.length; i++ ) {
         System.out.println(files[i]);
     }
