// ReadDirents returns a sortable slice of pointers to Dirent structures, each
// representing the file system name and mode type for one of the immediate
// descendant of the specified directory. If the specified directory is a
// symbolic link, it will be resolved.
//
// If an optional scratch buffer is provided that is at least one page of
// memory, it will be used when reading directory entries from the file
// system. If you plan on calling this function in a loop, you will have
// significantly better performance if you allocate a scratch buffer and use it
// each time you call this function.

// the results and calling os.Stat or os.LStat for each entry.
