Linux Matlab - is it possible to determine whether a directory is a link?

I wrote a simple Matlab script using "dir" to recursively follow directories in a linux environment. The only thing is I don't want to follow linked directories. Does Matlab have a way of figuring out which directories are linked directories? On my Linux window, linked dirs show up as
/dir_x -> /home/some_directory_path/some_other_path/
rather than just /dir_x

Try somthing like
[a,b]=system('ls -l /tmp/myfile | cut -c 1')
if b is an 'l' (ell), then /tmp/myfile is a link, if it's a 'd' then it's a regular directory. There are some other special types like 's','p','b','c' but most common are 'd' and 'l'.
Another way can be
[a,b]=system('stat -c ''%F'' /tmp/DELETEME')
If 'b' says 'symbolic link' there you got it, if it says 'directory', it is a directory.
Just another tip. Beware of newlines that may be at the end of b. I usually get rid of them piping the output through an
tr -d '[\r\n]'
at the end of the command. strtrim function is also handy. Regards!

I assume you need a Mex function, which calls stat and uses the non-Posix macro S_ISLNK. See: http://www.mitchr.me/SS/exampleCode/AUPG/fileData.c.html But it is not trivial to consider Unicode file names, see: Answers: Matlab string to wchar under linux and CSSM: 301249.
I cannot test this under linux - perhaps you need further headers:
#include "mex.h"
#include <sys\stat.h>
void mexFunction(int nlhs, mxArray *plhs[],
int nrhs, const mxArray *prhs[])
{
char *FileName;
struct stat S;
// Check number and type of arguments:
if (nrhs != 1) {
mexErrMsgTxt("*** FileIsLink[mex]: 1 input required.");
}
if (nlhs > 1) {
mexErrMsgTxt("*** FileIsLink[mex]: 1 output allowed.");
}
// Type of input arguments:
if (!mxIsChar(prhs[0])) {
mexErrMsgTxt("*** FileIsLink[mex]: 1st input must be the file name.");
}
// Obtain FileName:
if ((FileName = mxArrayToString(prhs[0])) == NULL) {
mexErrMsgTxt("*** FileIsLink[mex]: "
"Cannot convert FileName to C-string.");
}
// Get the status and create output:
if (stat(FileName, &S) == 0) {
plhs[0] = mxCreateLogicalScalar((mxLogical) S_ISLNK(s.st_mode));
} else { // File not found:
plhs[0] = mxCreateDoubleMatrix(0, 0, mxREAL);
}
mxFree(FileName);
return;
}
