Get buffer's line count and check for emptiness

[Lifepillar]

var linecount = getbufinfo(bufnr)[0].linecount

I also need to check whether a buffer is empty, which I do like this:

var is_empty = linecount == 1 && empty(getbufoneline(bufnr, 1))

I'm wondering: is there any simpler way to perform the two tasks above
that I'm missing?

Thanks,
Life.

line('$') == 1 to see if it's just one line
getline('1') == '' to see if that line is completely empty

I may have missed the part where you're not checking the current buffer (the bufnr bit). Not sure of an easier way than what you have to check if another buffer is empty.

Thanks. For some reason the beginning of my message got cut away. The
context is that I need to check in a Vim script function whether
a buffer passed as a parameter to the function is empty or how many
lines it has.
