• type PathComponent = enum
    pcFile = (0, "pcFile")
    pcLinkToFile = (1, "pcLinkToFile")
    pcDir = (2, "pcDir")
    pcLinkToDir = (3, "pcLinkToDir")

• func dollar`.PathComponent(e: PathComponent): string
• const weirdTarget: bool
• const supportedSystem: bool
• proc getSymlinkFileKind(path: string): tuple[pc: PathComponent, isSpecial: bool]
• proc tryMoveFSObject(source: string; dest: string; isDir: bool): bool

  Moves a file (or directory if isDir is true) from source to dest.

  Returns false in case of EXDEV error or AccessDeniedError on Windows (if isDir is true). In case of other errors OSError is raised. Returns true in case of success.

• const maxSymlinkLen: int64
• proc fileExists(filename: string): bool

  Returns true if filename exists and is a regular file or symlink.

  Directories, device files, named pipes and sockets return false.

  • dirExists proc_
  • symlinkExists proc_
• proc dirExists(dir: string): bool

  • symlinkExists proc_
• proc symlinkExists(link: string): bool
