# identicalSync method

bool identicalSync (String path1, String path2)

Synchronously checks whether two paths refer to the same object in the file system.

Comparing a link to its target returns false, as does comparing two links that point to the same target. To check the target of a link, use Link.target explicitly to fetch it. Directory links appearing inside a path are followed, though, to find the file system object.

Throws an error if one of the paths points to an object that does not exist.

## Implementation

    static bool identicalSync(String path1, String path2) {
      IOOverrides overrides = IOOverrides.current;
      if (overrides == null) {
        return _identicalSync(path1, path2);
      }
      return overrides.fseIdenticalSync(path1, path2);
    }
