You'll have a lot more examples there, but I think this will answer your question:

def file_dir_or_symlink_exists?(path_to_file)
  File.exist?(path_to_file) || File.symlink?(path_to_file)
end

file_dir_or_symlink_exists?('/Users')                          # => true
file_dir_or_symlink_exists?('/usr/bin/ruby')                   # => true
file_dir_or_symlink_exists?('some/bogus/path/to/a/black/hole') # => false
