Function Documentation

off_t fd_file_length

(

FILE *

fd

)

Gets the size of the specified file; returns EOF for error.

As file_length, but the file is specified by file handle, not name.

Parameters

fd	The file to size up.

Returns

Size of file in bytes.

off_t fi_file_length

(

int

fileno

)

Gets the size of the specified file; returns EOF for error.

As file_length, but the file is specified by number, not name.

See also

file_length

Parameters

fileno

The file to size up.

Returns

Size of file in bytes.

off_t file_length

(

char *

filename

)

Gets the size of the specified file; returns EOF for error.

Parameters

filename

The file to size up.

Returns

Size of file in bytes (or EOF if call to stat() failed)

Referenced by attach_subcorpus(), and comp_component_state().

long fprobe

(

char *

fname

)

Gets the size of the specified file; returns EOF for error.

Duplicates functionality of file_length, but return is long instead of off_t.

file_length

Parameters

fname

The file to size up.

Returns

Size of file in bytes.

int is_directory

(

char *

path

)

Checks whether the specified path indicates a directory.

Parameters

path	Path to check.

Returns

Boolean. (Also false if there's an error.)

Referenced by makeall_do_attribute().

int is_file

(

char *

path

)

Checks whether the specified path indicates a regular file.

Parameters

path	Path to check.

Returns

Boolean. (Also false if there's an error.)

int is_link

(

char *

path

)

Checks whether the specified path indicates a link.

Note this function always returns false in Windows, because Windows doesn't have Unix-style links. (.lnk files don't count.)

Parameters

path	Path to check.

Returns

Boolean. (Also false if there's an error.)
