# fseGetType method

Future<FileSystemEntityType> fseGetType (String path, bool followLinks)

Asynchronously returns the FileSystemEntityType for `path`.

When this override is installed, this function overrides the behavior of `FileSystemEntity.type`.

## Implementation

    Future<FileSystemEntityType> fseGetType(String path, bool followLinks) {
      return FileSystemEntity._getTypeRequest(utf8.encode(path), followLinks);
    }
