init · iOS 27.0+

init

TypeScript

init(rawValue: SDKHandle): FileType

Swift declaration

init(rawValue: CInterop.Mode)

Creates a strongly-typed file type from the raw C `mode_t`. - Note: This initializer stores the `rawValue` directly and **does not** mask the value with `S_IFMT`. If the supplied `rawValue` contains bits outside of the `S_IFMT` mask, the resulting `FileType` will not compare equal to constants like `.directory` and `.symbolicLink`, which may be unexpected. If you're unsure whether the `mode_t` contains bits outside of `S_IFMT`, you can use `FileMode(rawValue:)` instead to get a strongly-typed `FileMode`, then call `.type` to get the properly masked `FileType`.
