# isSymbolicLink

A boolean that indicates whether the file wrapper object is a symbolic-link file wrapper.

```
var isSymbolicLink: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

This property contains <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> when the file wrapper object is a symbolic-link file wrapper, <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false> otherwise.

Invocations of [`read(from:options:)`](/documentation/Foundation/FileWrapper/read(from:options:)) may change the value contained by this property, if the type of the file on disk has changed.
