N

News123

Hi,

Under Linux I'd like to find out, whether I got a file, a character
device or a socket as a parameter.


What is the right way to do this


How can I found out, whether a path name is:
- a file ( os.isfile() )
- a character device
- a socket
- a named pipe



thanks a lot for pointers
