PathIsDirectoryA3w

Usage

Overview

Determine if a path is a valid directory.

Params

lpszPath [In] Path to check.

Returns

FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY if lpszPath exists and can be read (See Notes) FALSE if lpszPath is invalid or not a directory.

Notes

Although this function is prototyped as returning a BOOL, it returns FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY for success. This means that code such as:

if (PathIsDirectoryA("c:\windows\") == TRUE)

...

will always fail.
