# renameSync method

FileSystemEntity renameSync (String newPath)

Synchronously renames this file system entity.

Returns a FileSystemEntity instance for the renamed entity.

If `newPath` identifies an existing entity of the same type, that entity is replaced. If `newPath` identifies an existing entity of a different type, the operation fails and an exception is thrown.

## Implementation

    FileSystemEntity renameSync(String newPath);
