find(path)
find(path, path2,.. ; skip_paths=[])

eachentry(path,..)
findfiles(path,..)  [TODO]
finddupl(path,..)   [TODO]

Get file system entries of a directory tree.

• find returns all entries found, including directories and symlinks.
• eachentry does the same, but returns an iterator.
• findfiles only returns regular files and the targets of file symlinks; it also checks if paths are unique (identical paths can, e.g., be caused via symlinks to known files, and are almost never good to have).
• finddupl returns duplicates (a dictionary of <original => [dupes]>); which can be rm-ed; only the dupes are deleted.

You can enter multiple paths; useful, e.g., for duplicate-checking a new import directory versus your library.

getfiles(X)

Filters only file-like entries (regular files or symlink-to-files); then follows all symlinks. Results are FileEntrys only.

Shortcut for X |> filter(isfile) |> map(follow) (with import CommandLiner.Iter.Hack: filter, map for currying).

ls(path)  
ll(path)  (just an alias)

Get file system entries of a directory.
