## @deftypefn {} {} isdir (@var{f})

## This function is not recommended.  Use @code{isfolder} or
## @code{file_in_loadpath} instead.
##
## Return true if @var{f} is a directory and false otherwise.
##
## Compatibility Note: The @sc{matlab} function of the same name will also
## search for @var{f} in the load path directories.  To emulate this behavior
## use
##
## @example
## @var{tf} = ! isempty (file_in_loadpath (@var{f}))
## @end example
##
## @seealso{isfolder, file_in_loadpath, exist, stat, is_absolute_filename, is_rooted_relative_filename}
## @end deftypefn
