Hi, I wrote a little application that tries to probe whether a symlink exists. The `stat` function has an undocumented optional parameter that lets stat return #f when the file does not exist. With this argument one can probe for any files excluding broken symlinks. lstat does not offer this argument. Therefore I needed to use guard-expressions around lstat to probe for broken symlinks.
So probing broken symlinks relies on errors in the control flow and is not straight forward. Maybe we should add the optional argument that `stat` has and document the arguments for both commands. I am using guile 2.2.4. Tim.
