I was thinking that maybe you dont need to have the fncache::res,
but then I realized we have 2 kind of information in here:
- we processed this file
- is present file present
so I think you should update the result on each update_fncache call,
not only when it's succesful
also, could you please make single function API for this?
sonething like:
is_the_file_there(path)
that would encapsulate those calls
