DuplicateFormatFlagsException	The unchecked exception will be thrown out if there are duplicate flags given out in the format specifier.
FormatFlagsConversionMismatchException	A `FormatFlagsConversionMismatchException` will be thrown if a conversion and the flags are incompatible.
IllegalFormatCodePointException	An `IllegalFormatCodePointException` will be thrown if an invalid Unicode code point (defined by `isValidCodePoint(int)`) is passed as a parameter to a Formatter.
IllegalFormatConversionException	An `IllegalFormatConversionException` will be thrown when the parameter is incompatible with the corresponding format specifier.
IllegalFormatFlagsException	An `IllegalFormatFlagsException` will be thrown if the combination of the format flags is illegal.
IllegalFormatPrecisionException	An `IllegalFormatPrecisionException` will be thrown if the precision is a negative other than -1 or in other cases where precision is not supported.
IllegalFormatWidthException	An `IllegalFormatWidthException` will be thrown if the width is a negative value other than -1 or in other cases where a width is not supported.
MissingFormatArgumentException	A `MissingFormatArgumentException` will be thrown if there is no corresponding argument with the specified conversion or an argument index that refers to a missing argument.
MissingFormatWidthException	A `MissingFormatWidthException` will be thrown if the format width is missing but is required.
UnknownFormatConversionException	An `UnknownFormatConversionException` will be thrown if the format conversion is unknown.
UnknownFormatFlagsException	An `UnknownFormatFlagsException` will be thrown if there is an unknown flag.

final void	notifyAll() Causes all threads which are waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the `wait()` methods) to be woken up.
String	toString() Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object.
final void	wait(long millis, int nanos) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the `notify()` or `notifyAll()` method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
final void	wait(long millis) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the `notify()` or `notifyAll()` method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
final void	wait() Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the `notify()` or `notifyAll()` method of this object.
