# resolvingSymlinksInPath

A URL that points to the same resource as the receiver and includes no symbolic links. (read-only)

## Declaration

```swift
var resolvingSymlinksInPath: URL? { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion If the receiver has no symbolic links, this property contains a copy of the original URL. If some symbolic links cannot be resolved, this property contains those broken symbolic links. If the name of the receiving path begins with /private, this property strips off the /private designator, provided the result is the name of an existing file. This property only works on URLs with the file: path scheme. For all other URLs, it contains a copy of the receiver.
