ischardev

ischardev(path) -> Bool

Returns true if path is a character device, false otherwise.

Examples

Check if a path refers to a character device:
```
julia> ischardev("/dev/tty")
true
```
This example checks if the path "/dev/tty" refers to a character device.
Determine if a file is a character device:
```
julia> ischardev("path/to/file")
false
```
It returns false because "path/to/file" is not a character device.
Handle non-existent paths:
```
julia> ischardev("/nonexistent/path")
false
```
When the specified path does not exist, false is returned.

Common mistake example:

julia> ischardev("/dev/null")
