FileType#
- class FileType#
Indicates the file’s on-disk type.
On Windows systems a file will never have SYMBOLIC_LINK type;
use FileInfo and FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_IS_SYMLINK to determine
whether a file is a symlink or not. This is due to the fact that NTFS does
not have a single filesystem object type for symbolic links - it has
files that symlink to files, and directories that symlink to directories.
FileType enumeration cannot precisely represent this important distinction,
which is why all Windows symlinks will continue to be reported as
REGULAR or DIRECTORY.
