# UTTypePackage

A base type that represents a packaged directory.

## Declaration

```occ
extern UTType * const UTTypePackage;
```

## Discussion

Discussion Bundles differ from packages in that a bundle has an internal file hierarchy that CFBundle can read, while packages display to the user as if they were regular files. A single file system object can be both a package and a bundle. The identifier for this type is com.apple.package. This type conforms to UTTypeDirectory.
