Remarks

This method can be used to know whether a path is tracked by the AssetDatabase. Being tracked means that files added to this folder will have a .meta file added along them and be imported and available in the current Unity project. The out arguments can be used to get more information about the given path.
  • rootFolder is true if the given path is the root of a tracked path on your drive. For example the Assets folder is a root.
  • immutable is true if the given path is under a root folder registered with the immutable flag. For example files in a package added from the package manager registry will be immutable.
