Directory Reader

procedure+: directory-read directory [sort?]

Directory must be an object that can be converted into a pathname by ->pathname. The directory specified by directory is read, and the contents of the directory is returned as a newly allocated list of absolute pathnames. The result is sorted according to the usual sorting conventions for directories, unless sort? is specified as #f. If directory has name, type, or version components, the returned list contains only those pathnames whose name, type, and version components match those of directory; wild or #f as one of these components means "match anything".
