Hi,
According to the "WATCOM C LIBRARY REFERENCE FOR QNX" the structure stat
in sys/stat.h should contain the field _ftype_t st_type that allows to
identify the type of given file i.e if it is fifo, regular, directory
etc. Unfortunatelly there is no st_type in this structure. Moreover
there is no field of _ftype_t in the structure stat that makes me able
to recognize the file (althought the field st_spare0 is the appropriate
type, its values are usually useless). Could anybody tell me then what
is the way of checking the type of a file?
 
					Thanks
