Method: Dir.empty?

Defined in:

dir.c

.empty?(dirpath) ⇒ Boolean

Returns whether dirpath specifies an empty directory:

dirpath = '/tmp/foo'
Dir.mkdir(dirpath)
Dir.empty?(dirpath)            # => true
Dir.empty?('/example')         # => false
Dir.empty?('/example/main.rb') # => false

Raises an exception if dirpath does not specify a directory or file in the underlying file system.

Returns:

• (Boolean)
