[Qt-interest] Can I recognize an NTFS junction?

[Constantin Makshin]

Since you want to work with platform-specific feature, it's OK to use platform-specific API, isn't it? :)

So I think these MSDN articles may help you:

Something like this may work ("dirIt" is a QDirIterator object):

DWORD attributes = GetFileAttributesW(LPCWSTR(dirIt.fullPath().utf16()));
if (attributes != INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES && (attributes & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_REPARSE_POINT) != 0)
{
    // "dirIt" points to a NTFS reparse point (symbolic link, junction, etc.)
}
