is_native


Description:

public abstract bool is_native ()

Checks to see if a file is native to the platform.

A native file is one expressed in the platform-native filename format, e.g. "C:\Windows" or "/usr/bin/". This does not mean the file is local, as it might be on a locally mounted remote filesystem.

On some systems non-native files may be available using the native filesystem via a userspace filesystem (FUSE), in these cases this call will return false, but get_path will still return a native path.

This call does no blocking I/O.

Parameters:

this

input File

Returns:

true if this is native
