LPC Library Functions: get_dir

NAME

get_dir() - returns information pertaining to a filesystem directory

SYNOPSIS

mixed *get_dir( string dir, int default: 0 );

DESCRIPTION

If `dir' is a filename ('*' and '?' wildcards are supported), an array of strings is returned containing all filenames that match the specification.

If `dir' is a directory name (ending with a slash - for example, "/u/", "/adm/", etc.), all filenames in that directory are returned.

If called with a second argument equal to -1, get_dir() will return an array of subarrays, where the format of each subarray is: 

    ({ filename, size_of_file, last_time_file_touched })
In each subarray, 'filename' is a string and 'last_time_file_touched' is an integer representing the number of seconds since January 1, 1970 (same format as time()). The 'size_of_file' element is the same value that is returned by file_size(); the size of the file in bytes, or -2 if it's a directory.
