## @deftypefn  {} {} dir
## @deftypefnx {} {} dir @var{directory}
## @deftypefnx {} {[@var{list}] =} dir (@var{directory})
## Display file listing for directory @var{directory}.
##
## If @var{directory} is not specified then list the present working directory.
##
## If a return value is requested, return a structure array with the fields
##
## @table @asis
## @item name
## File or directory name.
##
## @item folder
## Location of file or directory
##
## @item date
## Timestamp of file modification (string value).
##
## @item bytes
## File size in bytes.
##
## @item isdir
## True if name is a directory.
##
## @item datenum
## Timestamp of file modification as serial date number (double).
##
## @item statinfo
## Information structure returned from @code{stat}.
## @end table
##
## If @var{directory} is a filename, rather than a directory, then return
## information about the named file.  @var{directory} may also be a list rather
## than a single directory or file.
##
## @var{directory} is subject to shell expansion if it contains any wildcard
## characters @samp{*}, @samp{?}, @samp{[]}.  If these wildcard characters are
## escaped with a backslash @samp{\} (e.g., @samp{\*}) on a POSIX platform,
## then they are not treated as wildcards, but as the corresponding literal
## character.  On Windows, it is not possible to escape wildcard characters
## because backslash @samp{\} is treated as a file separator.  On Windows, use
## @code{ls} for file or folder names that contain characters that would be
## treated as wildcards by @code{dir}.
##
## Note that for symbolic links, @code{dir} returns information about the
## file that the symbolic link points to rather than the link itself.  However,
## if the link points to a nonexistent file, @code{dir} returns information
## about the link.
## @seealso{ls, readdir, glob, what, stat, lstat}

## FIXME: This is quite slow for large directories.
##        Perhaps it should be converted to C++?
