However, this one looks more appropriate for r-help list, does not it?I hope I'm not asking a stupid question...If I symlink a directory, is symlink considered as directory in R? If so, why `dir.exists` returns FALSE on directory?I understand symlink is essentially a file, but functionally a symlink to directory is no different to the directory itself, but a directory is also essentially a file.Is there any way that allow me to check if a symlink is linked to directory in base R, like `dir.exists(..., symlink_ok = TRUE)`?What about : dir.exists(Sys.readlink("your_link"))
Or even better:
file_test("-d", "your_real_dir_or_simlink_to_dir")
which returns TRUE for both a real dir and a simlink to a dir.
Best,
Serguei.
