WP_Filesystem_Base::exists() WordPress Method

The WP_Filesystem_Base::exists() method is used to check whether a given file or directory exists. This is a static method, and it takes two parameters: the path to check, and an optional boolean flag specifying whether to check if the given path is a directory. This method is useful for making sure that a given file or directory exists before attempting to perform any operations on it. For example, you might use this method to check if a given image file exists before attempting to process and resize it. Note that this method only checks whether the given path exists; it does not check whether the path is readable, writable, or executable. Therefore, you should not use this method as a substitute for the WP_Filesystem_Base::is_readable(), WP_Filesystem_Base::is_writable(), or WP_Filesystem_Base::is_executable() methods.
