Detailed Description

Generate and return .true. is the input path is a file (not a directory), otherwise return .false..

The procedures under this generic interface utilize the Fortran intrinsic inquire() statement to infer the existence of the specified input path as a system file.

Parameters

[in]	path	: The input scalar character of kind any supported by the processor (e.g., SK, SKA, SKD , or SKU) containing a POSIX-style or Windows-style path.
[out]	iostat	: The optional output scalar integer of default kind IK. If present and no error occurs, it is set to 0 on output. If present and an error occurs, it is set to a positive non-zero value. If missing and an error occurs, then the program halts by calling error stop followed by the relevant error message. (optional.)
[in,out]	iomsg	: The input/output scalar character of default kind SK containing the error message, if any error occurs. A length type parameter value of LEN_IOMSG is generally sufficient for iomsg to contain the output error messages. (optional. It can be present only if the iostat output argument is also present.)

Returns

pathIsFile : The output scalar of type logical of default kind LK that is .true. if the input path is a file, otherwise .false..

Possible calling interfaces ⛓

use pm_kind, only: LK
use pm_sysPath, only: isFile
logical(LK) :: pathIsFile
 
pathIsFile = isFile(path)
pathIsFile = isFile(path, iostat, iomsg = iomsg)

Remarks

The procedures under discussion are impure.

Todo:

High Priority: The current Fortran standard 202x does not allow passing characters of non-default kind to the intrinsic Fortran statements and procedures.
As such, the implementation of this procedure for non-default character kinds leads to compile-time kind mismatch errors.
This procedure should be converted back to a generic interface in the future when non-default character kinds are also fully supported by the intrinsic functions.

Todo:

Critical Priority: This generic interface should be extended in the future to gracefully handle intrinsic inquire() exceptions.
