Path passing true? for the toRealPath method?

[The_Nick]

From this website oracle tutorial: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/ap ... /Path.html

The toRealPath method returns the real path of an existing file. This method performs several operations in one:

If true is passed to this method and the file system supports symbolic links, this method resolves any symbolic links in the path.
If the Path is relative, it returns an absolute path.
If the Path contains any redundant elements, it returns a path with those elements removed.

Well, it does not compile by passing true to toRealPath.. only with NOFOLLOW_LINKS
