This is a lower-level interface than `std::fs::ReadDir`. Notable differences: * can be opened from a file descriptor (as returned by `openat`, perhaps before knowing if the path represents a file or directory). Uses `fdopendir` for this, available on all Unix platforms as of rust-lang/libc#1018. * implements `AsRawFd`, so it can be passed to `fstat`, `openat`, etc. * can be iterated through multiple times without closing and reopening the file descriptor. Each iteration rewinds when finished. * returns entries for `.` (current directory) and `..` (parent directory). * returns entries' names as a `CStr` (no allocation or conversion beyond whatever libc does).
