Parameters

path

A string containing the directory to query.

Exceptions

Type	Reason
ArgumentNullException	path is null.
ArgumentException	path contains invalid characters; see UnixPath.GetInvalidPathChars.

Remarks

The path argument is permitted to specify relative or absolute path information. Relative path information is interpreted as relative to the current working directory.

Note: To obtain the current working directory, see .Mono.Unix.UnixDirectoryInfo.GetCurrentDirectory.

It is valid to construct Mono.Unix.UnixDirectoryInfo objects for directories that do not exist or for files. However, attempts to use the Mono.Unix.UnixDirectoryInfo instance may generate InvalidOperationExceptions. Use UnixFileSystemInfo.Exists to see if path exists and UnixFileSystemInfo.IsDirectory to ensure that path is a directory.

Requirements

Namespace: Mono.Unix
Assembly: Mono.Posix (in Mono.Posix.dll)
Assembly Versions: 1.0.5000.0, 2.0.0.0
