;;; Commentary:

;; OVERVIEW ==========================================================

;; This file redefines the function `insert-directory' to implement it
;; directly from Emacs lisp, without running ls in a subprocess.  It
;; is useful if you cannot afford to fork Emacs on a real memory UNIX,
;; or other non-UNIX platforms if you don't have the ls
;; program, or if you want a different format from what ls offers.

;; This function can use regexps instead of shell wildcards.  If you
;; enter regexps remember to double each $ sign.  For example, to
;; include files *.el, enter `.*\.el$$', resulting in the regexp
;; `.*\.el$'.

;; RESTRICTIONS ======================================================

;; * A few obscure ls switches are still ignored: see the docstring of
;; `insert-directory'.

;; TO DO =============================================================

;; Complete handling of F switch (if/when possible).

;; FJW: May be able to sort much faster by consing the sort key onto
;; the front of each list element, sorting and then stripping the key
;; off again!

;;; History:

;; Written originally by Sebastian Kremer <sk@thp.uni-koeln.de>
;; Revised by Andrew Innes and Geoff Volker (and maybe others).

;; Modified by Francis J. Wright <F.J.Wright@maths.qmw.ac.uk>, mainly
;; to support many more ls options, "platform emulation" and more
;; robust sorting.

SWITCHES may be a string of options, or a list of strings.
Optional third arg WILDCARD means treat FILE as shell wildcard.
Optional fourth arg FULL-DIRECTORY-P means file is a directory and
switches do not contain `d', so that a full listing is expected.

This version of the function comes from `ls-lisp.el'.
If the value of `ls-lisp-use-insert-directory-program' is non-nil then
it works exactly like the version from `files.el' and runs a directory
listing program whose name is in the variable
`insert-directory-program'; if also WILDCARD is non-nil then it runs
the shell specified by `shell-file-name'.  If the value of
`ls-lisp-use-insert-directory-program' is nil then it runs a Lisp
emulation.

The Lisp emulation does not run any external programs or shells.  It
supports ordinary shell wildcards if `ls-lisp-support-shell-wildcards'
is non-nil; otherwise, it interprets wildcards as regular expressions
to match file names.  It does not support all `ls' switches -- those
that work are: A a c i r S s t u U X g G B C R n and F partly."
