# CFURLCreateWithFileSystemPath(_:_:_:_:) Creates a `CFURL` object using a local file system path string. ``` func CFURLCreateWithFileSystemPath(_ allocator: CFAllocator!, _ filePath: CFString!, _ pathStyle: CFURLPathStyle, _ isDirectory: Bool) -> CFURL! ``` ## Parameters `allocator` The allocator to use to allocate memory for the new `CFURL` object. Pass `NULL` or [`kCFAllocatorDefault`](/documentation/CoreFoundation/kCFAllocatorDefault) to use the current default allocator. `filePath` The path string to convert to a `CFURL` object. `pathStyle` The operating system path style used in `filePath`. See [`CFURLPathStyle`](/documentation/CoreFoundation/CFURLPathStyle) for a list of possible values. `isDirectory` A Boolean value that specifies whether `filePath` is treated as a directory path when resolving against relative path components. Pass `true` if the pathname indicates a directory, `false` otherwise. ## Return Value A new `CFURL` object. Ownership follows the create rule. See [The Create Rule](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/CoreFoundation/Conceptual/CFMemoryMgmt/Concepts/Ownership.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20001148-103029). ## Discussion If `filePath` is not absolute, the resulting URL will be considered relative to the current working directory (evaluated when this function is being invoked). --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
