instance method

Dir#each_child

dir.each_child {| filename | block } → dir

dir.each_child → an_enumerator

static VALUE
dir_each_child_m(VALUE dir)
{
    RETURN_ENUMERATOR(dir, 0, 0);
    return dir_each_entry(dir, dir_yield, Qnil, TRUE);
}

Calls the block once for each entry except for “.” and “..” in this directory, passing the filename of each entry as a parameter to the block.

If no block is given, an enumerator is returned instead.

Example

d = Dir.new("testdir")
d.each_child  {|x| puts "Got #{x}" }

produces:

Example

Got config.h
Got main.rb
