Dir.open( string ) -> aDir
Dir.open( string, encoding: enc ) -> aDir
Dir.open( string ) {| aDir | block } -> anObject
Dir.open( string, encoding: enc ) {| aDir | block } -> anObject

The optional encoding keyword argument specifies the encoding of the directory. If not specified, the filesystem encoding is used.

With no block, open is a synonym for Dir::new. If a block is present, it is passed aDir as a parameter. The directory is closed at the end of the block, and Dir::open returns the value of the block.
