Re: Listing a directory using the file system session

I have written a file manager for Genode, so that could be useful if you don't want to use the VFS system. It's part of my work on a desktop environment, and it's not entirely complete, but it should be fairly usable still. If you want to use that as a starting point, here's a link:

Listing a directory using the file system session

Dear Genode community, I’m looking for a way to list the files (nodes) in a directory using a file system session. Amongst other, I studied the File_system::Session and file_system/utils.h but cannot find a hook to get started. I see that reading the directory nodes is supported -> this
