Description

FileIsExecutable is a Boolean function used to determine if the specified file name is executable. For UNIX-like environments, a combination of FpStat, FPS_ISREG, and FpAccess are used to get the return value. For the Windows environment, the value from FileExistsUTF8 is used as the return value. In short, the function is not really useful in a Windows environment.
