Golang Determining whether *File points to file or directory

Question

Is there a way to determine whether my *File is pointing to a file or a directory?

fileOrDir, err := os.Open(name) // How do I know whether I have a file or directory? 

I want to be able to read stats about the file if it is just a file, and be able to read the files within the directory if it is a directory

fileOrDir.Readdirnames(0) // If dir os.Stat(name) // If file 

Answer 1

For example,

package main  import (     "fmt"     "os" )  func main() {     name := "FileOrDir"     fi, err := os.Stat(name)     if err != nil {         fmt.Println(err)         return     }     switch mode := fi.Mode(); {     case mode.IsDir():         // do directory stuff         fmt.Println("directory")     case mode.IsRegular():         // do file stuff         fmt.Println("file")     } } 

Note:

The example is for Go 1.1. For Go 1.0, replace case mode.IsRegular(): with case mode&os.ModeType == 0:.
