Function Documentation

bool progExists

(

const char *

progName

)

If progName is a fully qualified path (i.e. it begins with '/'), this function looks for the program with this path, returning true if it exists. Otherwise, progExists searchs the system PATH for the program progName, and returns true if it exists (i.e. is a regular file or symlink).

Ex: if(progExists("vi") { do_stuff(); }
