[PD] [PD-announce] more objects from libc: stat - get file info

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

[stat] just returns info about one file.  You can get a listing of  
files [folder_list] based on a glob pattern like *.mov.  I am  
planning on changing it to [file/match] that will act like [qlist] in  
that you bang to get a new filename, then it'll bang when end of the  
file listing is reached.
