Directory.readName

Retrieves the name of another entry in the directory, or %NULL. The order of entries returned from this function is not defined, and may vary by file system or other operating-system dependent factors.

%NULL may also be returned in case of errors. On Unix, you can check errno to find out if %NULL was returned because of an error.

On Unix, the '.' and '..' entries are omitted, and the returned name is in the on-disk encoding.

On Windows, as is true of all GLib functions which operate on filenames, the returned name is in UTF-8.
