Details

This method will look for a file/directory header, based on its name. If such a header exists, it is assumed that the file exists. The file/directory itself is not checked for validity.

Examples

data(adf.example)

## This file exists:
adf.file.exists(adf.example, "df0:mods/mod.intro")

## But it doesn't exist as a directory
dir.exists.adf(adf.example, "df0:mods/mod.intro")

## This file also doesn't:
adf.file.exists(adf.example, "df0:idontexist")
