# listSync abstract method

List<FileSystemEntity> listSync({

1. bool recursive = false,
2. bool followLinks = true,

})

Lists the sub-directories and files of this Directory. Optionally recurses into sub-directories.

If `followLinks` is `false`, then any symbolic links found are reported as Link objects, rather than as directories or files, and are not recursed into.

If `followLinks` is `true`, then working links are reported as directories or files, depending on what they point to, and links to directories are recursed into if `recursive` is `true`.

Broken links are reported as Link objects.

If a link makes a loop in the file system, then a recursive listing will not follow a link twice in the same recursive descent, but will report it as a Link the second time it is seen.

Returns a List containing FileSystemEntity objects for the directories, files, and links. The List will be in an arbitrary order and does not include the special entries `'.'` and `'..'`.

## Implementation

    List<FileSystemEntity> listSync({
      bool recursive = false,
      bool followLinks = true,
    });
