The cleaner solution to the above is to test for a symlink first and then do
the other tests (as shown below). Thanks for spotting this.
if (g_file_test(filename, G_FILE_TEST_IS_SYMLINK))
retcode = FILE_TYPE_LINK;
else if (g_file_test(filename, G_FILE_TEST_IS_REGULAR))
retcode = FILE_TYPE_FILE;
else if (g_file_test(filename, G_FILE_TEST_IS_DIR))
retcode = FILE_TYPE_DIR;
else
retcode = FILE_TYPE_UNKNOWN;
