It opens a folder in a way that refuses to follow a symbolic link (a file that is only a pointer to another location), then tests a given name inside that opened folder.\n\n**Why**\n\nWorking through the folder that was actually opened, rather than through its path, means a symbolic link swapped in at the last moment cannot send the check somewhere else.\n\n- Area: Internals\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 0\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
