## readdir

    readdir dirhandle

Reads directory entries from a directory handle opened by `opendir`. In scalar context, this function returns the next directory entry, if any; otherwise, it returns an undefined value. In list context, it returns all the rest of the entries in the directory, which will of course be a null list if there are none.
