Function std.file.attrIsFile
Returns whether the given file attributes are for a file.
bool attrIsFile
(
uint attributes
) pure nothrow @nogc @safe;
On Windows, if a file is not a directory, it's a file. So, either
attrIsFile or attrIsDir will return true for the
attributes of any given file.
On Posix systems, if attrIsFile is true, that indicates that the
file is a regular file (e.g. not a block not device). So, on Posix systems,
it's possible for both attrIsFile and attrIsDir to be false
for a particular file (in which case, it's a special file). If a file is a
special file, you can use the attributes to check what type of special file
it is (see the man page for stat for more information).
