FileIsSymlink Property

Whether or not the file or directory represented by these attributes is a symbolic link.

Syntax

 sftp.getFileIsSymlink([callback])

Default Value

FALSE

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getFileIsSymlink([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setFileIsSymlink([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

Whether or not the file or directory represented by these attributes is a symbolic link. This setting is only applicable when GetSymlinkAttrs is set to True. By default the attributes of the actual file referred to by the link (not the symbolic link itself) are returned and this property will always be False.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

Data Type

Boolean
