type abstract method

Future<FileSystemEntityType> type(
  1. String path, {
  2. bool followLinks = true,
})

Finds the type of file system object that a path points to. Returns a Future

io.FileSystemEntityType.LINK will only be returned if followLinks is false, and path points to a link

If the path does not point to a file system object or an error occurs then io.FileSystemEntityType.notFound is returned.

Implementation

Future<io.FileSystemEntityType> type(String path, {bool followLinks = true});
