Check existence of file or dir

Hello

 

Is it possible in APR to check file existence without opening the file ?

I am looking for function like

apr_status_t apt_file_exists( const char* path );

You may treat this as Feature Request.

 

also I interesting to check directory existence.

 

I am interested what is best way to do these checks for now (with
current  apr_* functions ).

apr_stat() does what you want :)

Directories are files too. But you can check finfo->filetype == APR_DIR.
