from my c++ console prog, i need to find out if a directory exists.
in windows, all(even empty ones) have \folder\nul
does unix have something similar ?

doing the easy way again

you will have to mount your windows partition first into say something like /mnt/windows


then system(find /mnt/windows -type d -name "yourdirectoryname" -print)

--> "/directory/foobar", "w+"

what's the "w+" ?

basically i'm in my home dir.
in my home dir there is a dir called saves,
i need to see it if exists.

(It's done for my windows section, but it needs to work on linux)
