Re: [Bug-apl] Request: lib_file_io additions

Hi David,

fixed in SVN 366.

FILE_IO[28] now returns an N by 5 matrix with columns ordered like in struct dirent.

I used -1 instead of ⍬ for missing fields because I found it a bit awkward to produce
different depths on different platforms.

I also added FILE_IO[29] which returns only the file names instead of entire dirents.

Regarding the FILE_IO[28] result:

It occurs to me that on a platform where the three optional fields (d_off, d_reclen and d_type) are not either all available or all unavailable, it could be tricky for the application to know how to interpret the fields that are present in the result. Perhaps it would be better to always return an N-by-5 array and fill the missing fields with ⍬.
