The best way to check if File is a directory?

[Jon Renner]

Can this be improved upon?

func isADirectory(path string) bool {

f, err := os.Open(path)

handleError(err)

stat, err := f.Stat()

handleError(err)

return stat.IsDir()

}

Not tested:

func isDir(pth string) (bool, error) {
fi, err := os.Stat(pth)
if err != nil {
return false, err
}

return fi.Mode.IsDir(), nil
}

-j

You were missing some parens on the Mode, but otherwise it is perfect, it fixed my permissions error. Thanks!
