[cs631apue] Test if file is whiteout

Hi,

I noticed in the the man page for stat there are macros to test if a file
is a directory, character device, block device, fifo, symbolic link and a
socket, but none to test if a file is whiteout. Is there a different way to
test if a file is a whiteout file?

Thanks,
Keyur
