Method Create

Create(ReadOnlySpan<char>, PathOptions)

Creates a cached info snapshot for an existing file or directory at the specified absolute path. The returned instance is either a CachedFileInfo or CachedDirectoryInfo depending on the entry's type.

Declaration

public static CachedEntryInfo Create(ReadOnlySpan<char> path, PathOptions options = PathOptions.NoUnfriendlyNames)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
ReadOnlySpan<char>	path	An absolute path to an existing file or directory, using the current platform's format.
PathOptions	options	Specifies the path parsing options for path.

Returns

Type	Description
CachedEntryInfo

Remarks

If path is directory-shaped (i.e. it ends with a separator or a navigational segment) then it must point to a directory; an IOException is thrown if it instead resolves to a file. If path is file-shaped then either a file or a directory at that path is accepted.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
FileNotFoundException	No file or directory exists at the specified path.
DirectoryNotFoundException	A parent directory in the specified path does not exist.
IOException	The path is directory-shaped but resolves to a file.
