<concept id="GUID-1C0CA7AD-0F04-5346-AA51-4F9EB852FD38" xml:lang="en"><title>Directories</title><shortdesc>This topic describes the directories concept.</shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<p>The <codeph>RDir</codeph> class reads through a directory, one entry at

a time. Often, it is more efficient to read a directory many entries at a

time, to minimize client-server interaction. <codeph>RFs</codeph> functions

and the associated <codeph>CDir</codeph> class support this requirement.</p>

<p>A directory entry is represented by the <codeph>TEntry</codeph> class which

may represent a directory, file or even a volume label. Attributes such as

archive, hidden, system and read-only are available, as in <keyword>VFAT</keyword>.</p>
