# typeSync static method

FileSystemEntityType typeSync(

1. String path, {
2. bool followLinks = true,

})

Synchronously finds the type of file system object that a path points to.

Returns FileSystemEntityType.notFound if `path` does not point to a file system object or if any other error occurs in looking up the path.

If `path` points to a link and `followLinks` is `true` then the result will be for the file system object that the link points to. If that object does not exist then the result will be FileSystemEntityType.notFound. If `path` points to a link and `followLinks` is `false` then the result will be FileSystemEntityType.link.

## Implementation

    static FileSystemEntityType typeSync(String path, {bool followLinks = true}) {
      return _getTypeSync(_toUtf8Array(path), followLinks);
    }
