# fileSystemAttributes(atPath:)

Returns a dictionary that describes the attributes of the mounted file system on which a given path resides.

```
func fileSystemAttributes(atPath path: String) -> [AnyHashable : Any]?
```

## Parameters

`path`

Any pathname within the mounted file system.

## Return Value

An `NSDictionary` object that describes the attributes of the mounted file system on which `path` resides. See `File-System Attribute Keys` for a description of the keys available in the dictionary.

## Discussion

Because this method does not return error information, it has been deprecated as of OS X v10.5. Use [`attributesOfFileSystem(forPath:)`](/documentation/Foundation/FileManager/attributesOfFileSystem(forPath:)) instead.
