ispath

ispath(path) -> Bool

Returns true if path is a valid filesystem path, false otherwise.

Examples

Check if a path is valid:
```
julia> ispath("/home/user/Documents")
true
```
This example checks if the given path /home/user/Documents is a valid filesystem path.
Validate a file path:
```
julia> filepath = "/path/to/file.txt"
julia> ispath(filepath)
true
```
It verifies whether the provided filepath is a valid path.
Handle invalid paths:
```
julia> invalid_path = "/path/with?invalid/symbols"
julia> ispath(invalid_path)
false
```
In this example, the path contains invalid symbols (?), resulting in false being returned.

Common mistake example:

julia> ispath("C:\\Users\\Documents")
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching ispath(::String)

In this example, the function call ispath("C:\\Users\\Documents") throws an error because the ispath function does not support Windows-style paths. It's important to note that ispath only works with Unix-style paths in Julia.
