file_length - get the number of lines in a file
|
|
|
|
int file_length( string file );
|
|
|
|
file_length() returns the number of lines in file 'file'. Size -1
|
|
indicates that 'file' either does not exist, or that it is not
|
|
readable. Size -2 indicates that 'file' is a directory.
|
|
|
|
Note that this efun is not particularly fast on long files, since
|
|
determining the number of lines requires reading the entire file.
