# NSURLPboardType

NSURL data for one file or resource.

## Declaration

```occ
extern NSPasteboardType NSURLPboardType;
```

## Discussion

Discussion In macOS 10.6 and later, use writeObjects(_:) to write URLs directly to the pasteboard instead. In OS X v10.5 and earlier: to write an URL to a pasteboard you use write(to:) (NSURL); to get an URL from a pasteboard you use init(fromPasteboard:) (NSURL).
