SYNOPSIS
       #include <allegro.h>


       int file_exists(const char *filename, int attrib, int *aret);

DESCRIPTION
       Checks whether a file matching the given name and attributes (see
       beginning of this chapter) exists. If `aret' is not NULL, it will be
       set to the attributes of the matching file. Example:

          /* Check for a normal file. */

       specified attributes mask it out.
