How to find Directory Existance

[allavarapu]

Hi All,

How can we found whether directory or/and file existed in linux filesystem . In shell script to check file existance : if[-f $fname] and Directory existance using if[-d $dname] . Than how can we check using system call, please specify the name.
Thanks
