Link objects are references to filesystem links.

Implements

Properties

Link absolute
read-only
Returns a Link instance whose path is the absolute path to this.
bool isAbsolute
read-only, inherited
Returns a bool indicating whether this object's path is absolute.
Directory parent
read-only, inherited
The directory containing this. If this is a root directory, returns this.
String path
read-only, inherited
Uri uri
read-only, inherited
Returns a Uri representing the file system entity's location.

Constructors

Creates a Link object.
Link.fromUri(Uri uri)
Creates a Link object.

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.
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.
