# fileURL(withPath:isDirectory:) Initializes and returns a newly created NSURL object as a file URL with a specified path. ``` class func fileURL(withPath path: String, isDirectory isDir: Bool) -> URL ``` ## Parameters `path` The path that the NSURL object will represent. `path` should be a valid system path, and must not be an empty path. If `path` begins with a tilde, it must first be expanded with [`expandingTildeInPath`](/documentation/Foundation/NSString/expandingTildeInPath). If `path` is a relative path, it is treated as being relative to the current working directory. `isDir` A Boolean value that specifies whether `path` is treated as a directory path when resolving against relative path components. Pass if the `path` indicates a directory, otherwise. ## Return Value An NSURL object initialized with `path`. ## Discussion --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
