is_directory

Group: Metadata

Documentation​

Checks if this is a folder.

Returns​

  • True if the S3 path represents a folder, False otherwise.

Remarks​

S3 Directory Handling​

Note that regular S3 buckets do not have a 'native' notion of directories, instead they are emulated using prefixes and a delimiter (in Enso, the delimiter is set to "/"). The trailing slash determines if the given path is treated as a directory or as a regular file.

If the file is a data link, this checks whether the target of the data link is a directory.
