If `Path` doesn't exist, returns false. The alternate way of doing this is to use the `IsJunction` extension method on `DirectoryInfo` objects, which are returned by the `Get-Item` and `Get-ChildItem` cmdlets. .EXAMPLE Test-PathIsJunction -Path C:\I\Am\A\Junction Returns `True`. .EXAMPLE Test-PathIsJunction -Path C:\I\Am\Not\A\Junction Returns `False`. .EXAMPLE Get-ChildItem * | Where-Object { $_.PsIsContainer -and $_.IsJunction } Demonstrates an alternative way of testing for junctions. Uses Carbon's `IsJunction` extension method on the `DirectoryInfo` type to check if any directories under the current directory are junctions. #> [CmdletBinding()] param( [string] # The path to check $Path ) Set-StrictMode -Version 'Latest' Use-CallerPreference -Cmdlet $PSCmdlet -Session $ExecutionContext.SessionState if( Test-Path $Path -PathType Container ) { return (Get-Item $Path -Force).IsJunction } return $false } |
