AccessDeniedException	Checked exception thrown when a file system operation is denied, typically due to a file permission or other access check.
AsynchronousCloseException	Checked exception received by a thread when another thread closes the channel or the part of the channel upon which it is blocked in an I/O operation.
AtomicMoveNotSupportedException	Checked exception thrown when a file cannot be moved as an atomic file system operation.
BindException	Signals that an error occurred while attempting to bind a socket to a local address and port.
ClosedByInterruptException	Checked exception received by a thread when another thread interrupts it while it is blocked in an I/O operation upon a channel.

Summary

Public constructors
`<init>()` Constructs an `IOException` with `null` as its error detail message.
`<init>(message: String!)` Constructs an `IOException` with the specified detail message.
`<init>(message: String!, cause: Throwable!)` Constructs an `IOException` with the specified detail message and cause.
`<init>(cause: Throwable!)` Constructs an `IOException` with the specified cause and a detail message of `(cause==null ? null : cause.toString())` (which typically contains the class and detail message of `cause`).

Public constructors

<init>

Added in API level 1

IOException()

Constructs an IOException with null as its error detail message.

<init>

Added in API level 1

IOException(message: String!)

Constructs an IOException with the specified detail message.

Parameters
`message`	String!: The detail message (which is saved for later retrieval by the `getMessage()` method)

<init>

Added in API level 9

IOException(
    message: String!, 
    cause: Throwable!)

Constructs an IOException with the specified detail message and cause.

Note that the detail message associated with cause is not automatically incorporated into this exception's detail message.

Parameters
`message`	String!: The detail message (which is saved for later retrieval by the `getMessage()` method)
`cause`	Throwable!: The cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the `getCause()` method). (A null value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)

<init>

Added in API level 9

IOException(cause: Throwable!)

Constructs an IOException with the specified cause and a detail message of (cause==null ? null : cause.toString()) (which typically contains the class and detail message of cause). This constructor is useful for IO exceptions that are little more than wrappers for other throwables.

Parameters
`cause`	Throwable!: The cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the `getCause()` method). (A null value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)
