isDirectory

Checks if the file specification is a directory

Checks if the file specification is a directory.

## Default S3 method:
isDirectory(pathname, ...)

`pathname`	A `character` string of the pathname to be checked.
`...`	Not used.

Returns TRUE if the file specification is a directory, otherwise FALSE is returned.

This function follows symbolic links (also on Windows) and returns a value based on the link target (rather than the link itself).
