Checking a Directory exists

[gedw99]

I have this cross platform problem.

I need a way to know if a Folder exists.

If it exists then it just gives you back the absolute value.
If it does not exist, then it give you back "".

I think the way to do the CLI for this command is like this.

fsize which <PATH>

Why cal it "which". Well because we all know the the concept of which for asking the OS where a bin exists on the path.

So for knowing where a Folder exists it feels really intuitive.

On a side note, I am using this, to have a cross platform way to know where a binary exists in the OS. Works great...

Is a good idea, but implementing a command that way I think would break the current implementation.

It should go with the way the program works, so it should be a flag.

Ok flag it is . I was thinking that a command would be extra work not doing also ..

Do you want to do it , or shall I do it and or it in ?

Do it yourself if you want, for now I'm more busy with xgotext and making it functional.

I was thinking that a command would be extra work not doing also ..

The main problem is as follows

the use of this program should be like this
fsize --flag1 --flag2 --flag3 file1 file2 file3 ...

If we add at least a single command to the root command of the program, this implementation would break because it would interpret file1 as a command and not an argument.

The only way to make it work that way is for it to add a command to do what it already does, something like fsize stat --flag1 --flag2 --flag3 file1 file2 file3

I am fine with just using a flag .

I will do it .

It’s weekend here, so not working today :)
