API int
LQU_IsFile
(Path)
CONST char *Path;
Purpose
Determines whether the given Path refers to a regular file. Devices (such as /dev/null or a terminal), and directories in particular are not regular files. The Unix command
find filename -type f -print
will print out filename if and only if LQU_IsFile would return 1 for the same filename.
Returns
- 1 if the given Path represents a regular file
- zero otherwise
Notes
There is tracing in here so that you can see which files are being investigated by the calling program; tracing is available if the liblqutil library was compiled with -DASCIITRACE; if so, you can set the FindFile trace flag (LQTRACE_FINDFILE) to see tracing for this routine. The -t "FindFile|Verbose" command-line option will do this.
On systems that have the trace, strace or truss utility, investigate using that instead.
