# type method Null safety

Future<FileSystemEntityType> type (

1. String path,
2. {bool followLinks: true}

)

Finds the type of file system object that a path points to.

Returns a `Future<FileSystemEntityType>` that completes with the same results as typeSync.

## Implementation

    static Future<FileSystemEntityType> type(String path,
        {bool followLinks: true}) {
      return _getType(_toUtf8Array(path), followLinks);
    }
