fileManager(_:shouldProceedAfterError:linkingItemAtPath:toPath:)

Asks the delegate if the operation should continue after an error occurs while linking to the item at the specified path.

Declaration

optional func fileManager(_ fileManager: FileManager, shouldProceedAfterError error: any Error, linkingItemAtPath srcPath: String, toPath dstPath: String) -> Bool

Parameters

  • fileManager:

    The file manager object that attempted to create the link.

  • error:

    The error that occurred during the link attempt.

  • srcPath:

    The path to the attempted link location.

  • dstPath:

    The path to the file or directory that was the destination of the hard link.

Return Value

true if the operation should proceed or false if it should be aborted. If you do not implement this method, the file manager assumes a response of false.

Discussion

The file manager calls this method when there is a problem creating a hard link to the item at the specified location. If you return true, the file manager continues creating any other links associated with the current operation and ignores the error.

This method performs the same task as the fileManager(_:shouldProceedAfterError:linkingItemAt:to:) method, which is preferred over this method in macOS 10.6 and later.
