I'm trying to check if a folder has any subfolders without iterating through its children, in Linux. The closest I've found so far is using ftw
and stopping at the first subfolder - or using scandir
and filtering through the results. Both, are, however, an overkill for my purposes, I simply want a yes/no.
On Windows, this is done by calling SHGetFileInfo
and then testing dwAttributes & SFGAO_HASSUBFOLDER
on the returned structure. Is there such an option on Linux?
