Summary
Adds a
lexiststemplate function — theos.Lstatcounterpart of the existingexists.existsis backed byos.Stat, which follows symlinks, so a symlink whose target is missing (a dangling link) reports as non-existent.lexistsusesos.Lstat, which stats the link itself without following it, so it returnstruefor the symlink even when its target is unavailable. This is the behaviour requested in #187 (check for existence without traversing the symlink).Change
internal/utils: addPathLExists, mirroringPathExistsbut usingos.Lstatinstead ofos.Stat(samefs.ErrNotExisthandling).internal/template: register it in the templateFuncMapaslexists, next toexists.README.md: documentlexistsalongsideexists.Tests
TestPathLExistscovers an existing file (true), a missing path (false), and — the distinguishing case — a dangling symlink, assertinglexistsreturnstruewhileexistsreturnsfalse. The symlink portion is skipped where symlink creation isn't permitted (e.g. Windows without the privilege).Fixes #187
