isdir

isdir(path) -> Bool

Returns true if path is a directory, false otherwise.

Examples

Check if a path is a directory:
```
julia> isdir("/path/to/directory")
true
```
This example checks if the given path is a directory and returns true if it is.
Handle non-existent paths:
```
julia> isdir("/nonexistent/directory")
false
```
The function returns false for paths that do not exist on the filesystem.
Use relative paths:
```
julia> isdir("relative/path/to/directory")
true
```
Relative paths can also be used with isdir to check if a directory exists relative to the current working directory.

Common mistake example:

julia> isdir("/path/to/file.txt")
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching isdir(::String)

In this example, the isdir function is mistakenly used to check if a file exists. Remember that isdir specifically checks for directories, not files. To check if a file exists, use the isfile function instead.
