@freedosproject I assume these wrappers also change the position of the default Disk Transfer Area to point at the specified buffer since the DOS API just (re)uses it?
In a way, DOS does even more here since the standard Unix kernel interface only provides reading inode/name entries from a directory; filtering them has to be done by the shell (possibly using extra stat() calls when filtering by attributes) or standard library functions such as fnmatch().
