-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all. I am writing a c program under gnu/Linux, in which I need to know if a file of a particular name exists. The only way I can think of checking for this is to attempt to open a file of a given name in read-only mode. If it opens, the file exists, if the FILE stream is NULL, the file doesn't exist. However, doing this for a good number of files would be inefficient in my opinion. So, I was wondering if there is a function which will simply tell me if a file of a given name exists or not, sort of like calling ls, although I don't actually want to be literally doing that either from within the program? Thanks.
