getdirentries(2) has been deprecated on macOS since 10.5 (ten releases ago). Using it requires disabling 64-bit inodes, but that in turn makes binaries incompatible with some dynamic libraries, most notably ASAN. At some point getdirentries(2) will actually be removed. For both these reasons, switch to opendir/readdir. A little clunky since we have to keep the DIR* hidden away to preserve the int fd interfaces, but it lets us remove a bunch of OS-specific code too.
This is a port of many Plan 9 libraries and programs to Unix.
Installation
To install, run ./INSTALL. It builds mk and then uses mk to run the rest of the installation.
For more details, see install(1), at install.txt in this directory and at https://9fans.github.io/plan9port/man/man1/install.html.
Documentation
See https://9fans.github.io/plan9port/man/ for more documentation. (Documentation is also in this tree, but you need to run a successful install first. After that, "9 man 1 intro".)
Intro(1) contains a list of man pages that describe new features or differences from Plan 9.
