Re: file size

Hello,

TSystem::GetPathInfo is the equivalent of the posix stat function:

     FileStat_t fst;
     gSystem->GetPathInfo("<path>", fst);

A set of macros is available in TSystem.h to find the nature of the path: R_ISDIR(fst.fMode) will be true for directories and R_ISREG(fst.fMode) will be true for regular files.

For the size, for files you can use fst.fSize; for directories, what do you mean exactly for directory size? To get the number of entries in the directory
you have to open the directory and loop over its content:

    Int_t dir_entries = 0;
    void *dir = gSystem->OpenDirectory("<dir>")     while (gSystem->GetDirEntry(dir))

          dir_entries++;
    gSystem->FreeDirectory(dir);
