is_file: Functions to test for file types

Description

Functions to test for file types

Usage

is_file(path, follow = TRUE)
is_dir(path, follow = TRUE)
is_link(path)
is_file_empty(path, follow = TRUE)

Value

A named logical vector, where the names give the paths. If the given object does not exist, NA is returned.

Arguments

path

A character vector of one or more paths.

follow

If TRUE, symbolic links will be followed (recursively) and the results will be that of the final file rather than the link.

See Also

file_exists(), dir_exists() and link_exists() if you want to ensure that the path also exists.

Examples

.old_wd <- setwd(tempdir())
dir_create("d")

file_create("d/file.txt")
dir_create("d/dir")
link_create(path(path_abs("d"), "file.txt"), "d/link")

paths <- dir_ls("d")
is_file(paths)
is_dir(paths)
is_link(paths)

# Cleanup
dir_delete("d")
setwd(.old_wd)
