# resourceSpecifier

The resource specifier. (read-only)

## Declaration

```swift
var resourceSpecifier: String? { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion This property contains the resource specifier. Any percent-encoded characters are not unescaped. For example, in the URL http://www.example.com/index.html?key1=value1#jumplink, the resource specifier is //www.example.com/index.html?key1=value1#jumplink (everything after the colon). important: If the receiver does not specify a net location portion of the URL, as returned by the toll-free bridged CFURL function CFURLCopyNetLocation(_:), then this method returns only the path of the receiver. For example, in the URL file:///file.txt, the resource specifier is /file.txt.
