(Perl) Determine File Type
Demonstrates how to determine the type of file. Possible types are:
- 1: Regular file
- 2: Directory
- 3: Symbolic Link
- 4: Windows shortcut
- 99: Something else
- 0: File not found
- -1: Unable to check because of directory permissions or other error.
Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.77 or greater.
use chilkat();
# Call the FileType method to determine the file type.
# (Note: FileType is a method, not a property.)
$fac = chilkat::CkFileAccess->new();
$fileType = $fac->FileType("qa_data/shortcuts/chilkat_pkcs7_shortcut.xml");
print "fileType = " . $fileType . "\r\n";
# Possible fileType values are:
# 1: Regular file
# 2: Directory
# 3: Symbolic Link
# 4: Windows shortcut
# 99: Something else
# 0: File not found
# -1: Unable to check because of directory permissions or other error.
