# CFURLCreateWithFileSystemPath(_:_:_:_:)

Creates a CFURL object using a local file system path string.

## Declaration

```swift
func CFURLCreateWithFileSystemPath(_ allocator: CFAllocator!, _ filePath: CFString!, _ pathStyle: CFURLPathStyle, _ isDirectory: Bool) -> CFURL!
```

## Parameters

- `allocator`: The allocator to use to allocate memory for the new CFURL object. Pass NULL or doc://com.apple.corefoundation/documentation/CoreFoundation/kCFAllocatorDefault to use the current default allocator.
- `filePath`: The path string to convert to a CFURL object.
- `pathStyle`: The operating system path style used in filePath. See doc://com.apple.corefoundation/documentation/CoreFoundation/CFURLPathStyle for a list of possible values.
- `isDirectory`: A Boolean value that specifies whether filePath is treated as a directory path when resolving against relative path components. Pass true if the pathname indicates a directory, false otherwise.

## Return Value

Return Value A new CFURL object. Ownership follows the create rule. See The Create Rule.

## Discussion

Discussion If filePath is not absolute, the resulting URL will be considered relative to the current working directory (evaluated when this function is being invoked).
