Extended File Info from open Directory

[James Zukowski]

I recall seeing (somewhere) a Directory being opened with certain options, and the READ providing more than simply the name. Does anyone know what that might be?
We're currently using RedHat Linux 5.

Thanks!

James,

On Linux I frequently do this instead of just opening the directory:

open(hfn)"<ls -l /path/to/dir"

It is then simple to parse out the response.

Add a OPT="+INFO" to get additional information when reading a directory.
