A hypothetical algorithm that can spool out a sorted sequence without holding the entire sequence in memory at the same time. Though I typed that initial reply a little quickly, as I hadn't known at the time that scandir()'s results also provide stat() results with reduced overhead (whereas listdir() just returns the filenames, so you have to stat() each one). Thanks, Peter, for highlighting this feature. So in light of my newfound knowledge, I humbly retract my snark and agree that it's better to exploit scandir()'s inclusion of stat() details without additional calls. -tkc
