+.TH READDIR 3am "Jan 15 2013" "Free Software Foundation" "GNU Awk Extension Modules"
+.SH NAME
+readdir \- directory input parser for gawk
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.ft CW
+@load "readdir"
+.ft R
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.I readdir
+extension
+adds an input parser for directories.
+.PP
+When this extension is in use, instead of skipping directories named
+on the command line (or with
+.BR getline ),
+they are read, with each entry returned as a record.
+.PP
+The record consists of three fields. The first two are the inode number and the
+filename, separated by a forward slash character.
+On systems where the directory entry contains the file type, the record
+has a third field which is a single letter indicating the type of the
+file:
+.B f
+for file,
+.B d
+for directory,
+.B b
+for a block device,
+.B c
+for a character device,
+.B p
+for a FIFO,
+.B l
+for a symbolic link,
+.B s
+for a socket, and
+.B u
+(unknown) for anything else.
+.PP
+On systems without the file type information, the third field is always
+.BR u .
+.SH NOTES
+On GNU/Linux systems, there are filesystems that don't support the
+.B d_type
+entry (see
+.IR readdir (3)),
+and so the file type is always
+.BR u .
+You can use the
+.I filefuncs
+extension to call
+.I stat()
+in order to get correct type information.
