<para>
A pseudo-object oriented mechanism for reading a directory. The
given <parameter>directory</parameter> is opened. Two properties
are available once the directory has been opened. The handle
property can be used with other directory functions such as
<function>readdir</function>, <function>rewinddir</function> and
<function>closedir</function>. The path property is set to path
the directory that was opened. Three methods are available:
read, rewind and close.
</para>

Please note the fashion in which <function>dir</function>'s
return value is checked in the example below. We are explicitly
testing whether the return value is identical to (equal to and of
the same type as--see <link linkend="language.operators.comparison">
Comparison Operators</link> for more information) &false; since
otherwise, any directory entry whose name evaluates to &false; will
stop the loop.

This defines the internal class
