Subject: How to conduct common file tests in elisp
Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2008 22:17:21 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87r646i0by.fsf@newsguy.com> (raw)
I'm attempting to look up in the elisp manual how to conduct a
standard file test.
It is not easy to find.
I've tried index search for `file test' <no hits>
Manual search with the common C-s search of the table of contents in
the info manual for `test'. None of the hits were about file tests.
And finally `s' search which pours through the whole manual on string
file.*test.. again none of the hits were about standard file tests
like -f file, -d directory, -r file, -x file etc etc.
How is it done?
