Directory Reading Routines
- closedir dirhandle
Closes a directory opened by opendir.
- opendir dirhandle, dirname
Opens a directory on the handle specified. If dirhandle is an uninitialized scalar variable, a new, unique handle is automatically created.
- readdir dirhandle
In scalar context, returns the next entry from the directory or undef if none remains. The entry is the name component within the directory, not the full name.
In list context, returns a list of all remaining entries from the directory.
- rewinddir dirhandle
Prepares for reading the first entry again.
- seekdir dirhandle, pos
Sets the position for readdir on the directory. pos should be a file offset as returned by telldir.
- telldir dirhandle
Returns the position in the directory.
