This proposal depends on SettingsListsCowan. See DirectoriesCowan for a proposal for creating and destroying directories.
(open-directory filename)
Returns a directory port. It is not defined whether port? and input-port? return #t or #f to a directory port.
Filename can be a string or a settings list as described in SettingsListsCowan. In addition to the keys path and encoding specified there, the key hidden can have the values none (don't expose hidden files), all (expose all files), and dots (expose all files except . and ..). On Posix systems, hidden files have names beginning with .; on Windows, hidden files are named ., .., or have the hidden file attribute. On other systems, the definition of a hidden file is implementation-dependent.
(directory-port? obj)
Returns #t if obj is a directory port.
(read-directory directory-port)
Returns the next available filename as a string (or, when necessary, an implementation-dependent object). If no filenames are available, returns an eof-object. Filenames are returned in arbitrary order.
(close-directory filename)
Close directory port.
