Properties
- absolute → Link

read-only
Returns a
Linkinstance whose path is the absolute path tothis.… - isAbsolute → bool
-
read-only, inherited
Returns a
boolindicating whether this object's path is absolute.… - parent → Directory

Constructors
Methods
-
create(
String target, {bool recursive: false}) → Future<Link> -
Creates a symbolic link. Returns a
Future<Link>that completes with the link when it has been created. If the link exists, the future will complete with an error.… -
createSync(
String target, {bool recursive: false}) → void -
Synchronously create the link. Calling createSync on an existing link will throw an exception.…
-
delete(
{bool recursive: false}) → Future<FileSystemEntity> -
inherited
Deletes this FileSystemEntity.…
-
deleteSync(
{bool recursive: false}) → void -
inherited
Synchronously deletes this FileSystemEntity.…
-
exists(
) → Future<bool> -
inherited
Checks whether the file system entity with this path exists. Returns a
Future<bool>that completes with the result.… -
existsSync(
) → bool -
inherited
Synchronously checks whether the file system entity with this path exists.…
-
rename(
String newPath) → Future<Link> -
Renames this link. Returns a
Future<Link>that completes with a Link instance for the renamed link.… -
renameSync(
String newPath) → Link -
Synchronously renames this link. Returns a Link instance for the renamed link.…
-
resolveSymbolicLinks(
) → Future<String> -
Resolves the path of a file system object relative to the current working directory, resolving all symbolic links on the path and resolving all
..and.path segments.… -
resolveSymbolicLinksSync(
) → String -
Resolves the path of a file system object relative to the current working directory, resolving all symbolic links on the path and resolving all
..and.path segments.… -
stat(
) → Future<FileStat> -
inherited
Calls the operating system's stat() function on the path of this FileSystemEntity. Identical to
FileStat.stat(this.path).… -
statSync(
) → FileStat -
inherited
Synchronously calls the operating system's stat() function on the path of this FileSystemEntity. Identical to
FileStat.statSync(this.path).… -
target(
) → Future<String> -
Gets the target of the link. Returns a future that completes with the path to the target.…
-
targetSync(
) → String -
Synchronously gets the target of the link. Returns the path to the target.…
-
update(
String target) → Future<Link> -
Updates the link. Returns a
Future<Link>that completes with the link when it has been updated. Calling update on a non-existing link will complete its returned future with an exception.… -
updateSync(
String target) → void -
Synchronously updates the link. Calling updateSync on a non-existing link will throw an exception.…
-
watch(
{int events: FileSystemEvent.ALL, bool recursive: false}) → Stream<FileSystemEvent> -
inherited
Start watching the FileSystemEntity for changes.…
