JAVA.FILESYSTEM_TYPE

if stdlib.exists() was not adequate here, as on some CI systems, say Windows with Matlab R2025a, despite the same setup on a laptop working. stdlib.exists() was true, the Java function threw java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException.

this try-catch is faster and more robust

function t = filesystem_type(file)

t = '';
if stdlib.strempty(file)
  return
end

try
  t = char(java.nio.file.Files.getFileStore(javaPathObject(file)).type);
catch e
  javaException(e)
end

end
