If `dir' is a directory name (ending with a slash--ie: "/u/", "/adm/", etc), all filenames in that directory are returned. <p> If called with a second argument equal to -1, get_dir will return an array of subarrays, where the format of each subarray is: <p> ({ filename, size_of_file, last_time_file_touched }) <p> Where filename is a string and last_time_file_touched is an integer being number of seconds since January 1, 1970 (same format as time()). The size_of_file element is the same value that is returned by file_size(); the size of the file in bytes, or -2 if it's a directory. <p> See also: <A HREF=file_size.html> file_size </A>, <A HREF=stat.html> stat </A>, <A HREF=../system/time.html> time </A>, <A HREF=../system/ctime.html> ctime </A>
