Subject: [Caml-list] stat of nonexistent file
Date: Mon, 25 Jul 2016 08:55:59 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160725125559.GA3606@topoi.pooq.com> (raw)
While reading section 2.3 of https://ocaml.github.io/ocamlunix/files.html
I noticed that it does not specify what stat and lstat returnsif
the named file does not exist.
(a) What do they do?
(b) Should this be specified in the documentation?
(c) Are these suitable functions to determine if a file exists?
