# renameSync abstract method

Directory renameSync(

1. String newPath

)
override

Synchronously renames this directory.

Returns a Directory for the renamed directory.

If `newPath` identifies an existing directory, then the behavior is platform-specific. On all platforms, a FileSystemException is thrown if the existing directory is not empty. On POSIX systems, if `newPath` identifies an existing empty directory then that directory is deleted before this directory is renamed.

If `newPath` identifies an existing file or link the operation fails and a FileSystemException is thrown.

## Implementation

    Directory renameSync(String newPath);
