Path.readlink() method

Return the path to which the symbolic link points.

Signature:

readlink(): Promise<Path>;

Returns:

Promise<Path>

Promise resolving to a Path representing the symlink target.

Remarks

Resolves the link via Node’s fs.readlink and wraps it in a Path instance.

Example

Resolving symlinks asynchronously

import { Path } from "pathlib-ts";

const shim = new Path("./node_modules/.bin/esbuild");
const target = await shim.readlink();
console.log(target.toString());
