path name
| theChameleon (9) | |
hello, what functions do i have to use to check the validity of a directory path the user entered?
example check that "/usr/" is ok but "wegdfhoiehgboarj" is not.
thanks. |

man 2 stat
Use stat on the path. If stat returns 0, then check st_mode to see if the statted thing
is a directory:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12

#include <sys/types.h>
#Include <sys/stat.h>
#include <unistd.h>
bool CheckPath( const char* userPath ) {
struct stat statBuf;
if( stat( userPath, &statBuf ) < 0 )
return false;
return S_ISDIR( statBuf.st_mode );
} |
