It is similar to + `builtins.readDir` but acts on a single file or directory. + +* The `builtins.readDir` function has been optimized when encountering unknown + file types from POSIX's `readdir`. In such cases the type of each file is/was + discovered by making multiple syscalls. This change makes these operations + lazy such that these lookups will only be performed if the attribute is used. + This optimization effects a minority of filesystems and operating systems. |
