Declaration Syntax

) As Boolean

virtual bool FileExistsAtPathIsDirectory(
	NSString^ path, 
	[OutAttribute] bool% isDirectory
)

Parameters

path (NSString): The path of a file or directory. If path begins with a tilde (~), it must first be expanded with stringByExpandingTildeInPath, or this method will return NO.

isDirectory (Boolean%): Upon return, contains YES if path is a directory or if the final path element is a symbolic link that points to a directory, otherwise contains NO. If path doesn’t exist, the return value is undefined. Pass NULL if you do not need this information.

Return Value

YES if there is a file or directory at path, otherwise NO. If the final element in path specifies a symbolic link, this method traverses the link and returns YES or NO based on the existence of the file or directory at the link destination.
