Introduction
------------

  The goal of this article is to show different ways of listing the
  content of a directory. 

Motivation
----------

  This article might come useful when dealing with broken systems. For
  instance the utility "/bin/ls" on FreeBSD depends on the shared
  objects: libutil.so, libncurses.so and libc.so. If one of them is
  broken or missing, the application is broken too. Some systems
  deliver a rescue environment consisting of statically linked
  utilities (FreeBSD for instance). Most don't.

List directory content

  1. ls
