Description Steve Teale 2007-11-04 02:55:30 UTC 
No convenient function is provided to search for files within a single directory - listdir is recursive.

Need listthisdir or similar.

Example of requirement. Administrators often copy interesting log files to a subdirectory of the directory where the log files are generated.  Under these circumstances, a recursive listing makes log file rollover unnecessarily difficult.

dirEntries() takes care of that.
