Method Detail

isSymbolicLink

boolean isSymbolicLink(String name)
                throws IOException

readSymbolicLink

String readSymbolicLink(String name)
                 throws IOException

Read symbolic link. If the file represents a symbolic link, return its target path. Otherwise the return value is undefined, or IllegalArgumentException can be thrown. This method does not perform any normalization. If the target of symbolic link is defined using relative path, this relative path will be returned.

Parameters:

name - Name of the file.

Returns:

Target of the symbolic link (as absolute or relative path), or some undefined value if name does not represent symbolic link.

Throws:

IOException - If some I/O problem occurs.

openide.filesystem/9.4

getCanonicalName

String getCanonicalName(String name)
                 throws IOException

Get canonical file name (resolve all symbolic links).

Parameters:

name - Name of the file.

Returns:

Path that represents the same file as name and where all symbolic links are resolved.

Throws:

IOException - If some I/O problem occurs.
