The path to the item to determine if it is a container.

Remarks

Providers override this method to give the user the ability to check to see if a provider object is a container using the test-path -container cmdlet.

Providers that declare ProviderCapabilities of ExpandWildcards, Filter, Include, or Exclude should ensure that the path passed meets those requirements by accessing the appropriate property from the base class.

The default implementation of this method throws an PSNotSupportedException.
