115 wxDir is a portable equivalent of Unix open/read/closedir functions which
116 allow enumerating of the files in a directory. wxDir allows to enumerate
117 files as well as directories.
118
119 wxDir also provides a flexible way to enumerate files recursively using
120 Traverse() or a simpler GetAllFiles() function.
