What exactly else can it be if not is a Directory?

IF IsDir("/home/Alberto/fantasyname") THEN
  'i'm a directory
ELSE
  'I'm gues what?
  'file, symlink
  
ENDIF


See GAMBAS.Sta
Stat 
File info = Stat ( Path ) 
Returns information about a file or a directory as a 
File object: type, size, last modification time, permissions... 

if Stat(pfad).Type = gb.Directory then
if Stat(pfad).Type = gb.File then
if Stat(pfad).Type = gb.????? ' see constants in help gb.gb !
