Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Default Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`void`	`dispose()`	Close up the provider (in case it holds onto persistent resources such as files or database connections)
`Geometry`	`getFootprint(SimpleFeature feature)`	Retrieves the footprint.
`default List<File>`	`getSidecars(SimpleFeature feature)`	Returns the list of sidecar files defining masks for the specified feature.

- Method Detail
  - getFootprint
```
Geometry getFootprint(SimpleFeature feature)
               throws IOException
```
    Retrieves the footprint. If a feature is specified, return the footprint from the current granule representative feature as it comes from the index.
    
    Parameters:
    
    feature - the granule representative feature (if any). Specifying a null feature will return a default footprint (this is used in general for single-granule stores)
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
  - getSidecars
```
default List<File> getSidecars(SimpleFeature feature)
                        throws IOException
```
    Returns the list of sidecar files defining masks for the specified feature. The default implementation returns an empty list.
    
    Parameters:
    
    feature - the granule representative feature (if any)
    
    Returns:
    
    A list of files defining the masks for this granule (might be more than one)
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
  - dispose
```
void dispose()
```
    Close up the provider (in case it holds onto persistent resources such as files or database connections)
