The d_type field in the dirent struct can be used to determine if a file is a regular file, directory, symlink, etc. Is there a way to determine if a file is a regular file using Carbon calls?

You can extract the UNIX file type from the mode field in the permissions field in the FSCatalogInfo, in much the same way you would for <x-man-page://2/stat>.

$ FSMegaInfo -vvv FSGetCatalogInfo -kFSCatInfoPermissions /var/run/portmap.socket name = 'portmap.socket' catalogInfo: permissions: userID = 0 (root) groupID = 1 (daemon) reserved1 = 0 mode = 0x0000c1c0 (srwx------)

0x0000c1c0 = 0140700 = S_IFSOCK | S_IRWXU
