      FileDescriptor fd = null;
      boolean bool = false;
            
      try {
         // create new file output stream
         fos = new FileOutputStream("C://test.txt");
         
         // get file descriptor instance
         fd = fos.getFD();
         
         // test if the file is valid
         bool = fd.valid();
      
         // print
         System.out.print("Is file valid? "+bool);
         
      } catch(Exception ex) {
         // if an error occurs
         ex.printStackTrace();
