A cleverly organized set of utilities to make JavaScript and TypeScript development easier.

const fs = require('fs');
const PathType = require("./path_type");
const common = require("../common");

	try {
		const stats = fs.lstatSync(fullPath);
		if (stats.isDirectory()) {

			return PathType.FILE;
		}
		else if (stats.isSymbolicLink()) {
			return PathType.SYMBOLIC_LINK;
		}
		else if (stats.isBlockDevice()) {
			return PathType.BLOCK_DEVICE;
		}
		else if (stats.isCharacterDevice()) {
