+/**
+ * FTPFileEntryParser defines the interface for parsing a single FTP file
+ * listing and converting that information into an
+ * {@link org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPFile} instance.
+ * Sometimes you will want to parse unusual listing formats, in which
+ * case you would create your own implementation of FTPFileEntryParser and
+ * if necessary, subclass FTPFile.
+ * <p>
+ * Here are some examples showing how to use one of the classes that
+ * implement this interface.
+ * <p>
+ * The first example shows how to get an <b>iterable</b> list of files in which the
+ * more expensive <code>FTPFile</code> objects are not created until needed. This
+ * is suitable for paged displays. It requires that a parser object be created
+ * beforehand: <code>parser</code> is an object (in the package
+ * <code>org.apache.commons.net.ftp.parser</code>)
+ * implementing this inteface.
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * FTPClient f=FTPClient();
+ * f.connect(server);
+ * f.login(username, password);
+ * FTPFileList list = f.createFileList(directory, parser);
+ * FTPFileIterator iter = list.iterator();
+ *
+ * while (iter.hasNext()) {
+ * FTPFile[] files = iter.getNext(25); // "page size" you want
+ * //do whatever you want with these files, display them, etc.
+ * //expensive FTPFile objects not created until needed.
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * The second example uses the revised <code>FTPClient.listFiles()</code>
+ * API to pull the whole list from the subfolder <code>subfolder</code> in
+ * one call, attempting to automatically detect the parser type. This
+ * method, without a parserKey parameter, indicates that autodection should
+ * be used.
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * FTPClient f=FTPClient();
+ * f.connect(server);
+ * f.login(username, password);
+ * FTPFile[] files = f.listFiles("subfolder");
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * The third example uses the revised <code>FTPClient.listFiles()</code>>
+ * API to pull the whole list from the current working directory in one call,
+ * but specifying by classname the parser to be used. For this particular
+ * parser class, this approach is necessary since there is no way to
+ * autodetect this server type.
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * FTPClient f=FTPClient();
+ * f.connect(server);
+ * f.login(username, password);
+ * FTPFile[] files = f.listFiles(
+ * "org.apache.commons.net.ftp.parser.EnterpriseUnixFTPFileEntryParser",
+ * ".");
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * The fourth example uses the revised <code>FTPClient.listFiles()</code>
+ * API to pull a single file listing in an arbitrary directory in one call,
+ * specifying by KEY the parser to be used, in this case, VMS.
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * FTPClient f=FTPClient();
+ * f.connect(server);
+ * f.login(username, password);
+ * FTPFile[] files = f.listFiles("VMS", "subfolder/foo.java");
+ * </pre>
