Is there a way to check whether or not a file exists without actually
opening it?
I have my fopen in a separate encapsulated function. What I want to
accomplish is the ability to check if a user request for creating a new file
is on a file that already exists, and if so, provide the option to overwrite
it (which the encapsulated fopen will do if called).
TIA,
Eric
