Teach c:ls/1 to show non-directory files
In an email to erlang-questions, Bengt Kleberg wrote: When I use c:ls/1 it reminds me so much of Unix "ls" that I expect c:ls("filename") to work. The resulting error surprises me every time (not the same day). While teaching c:ls/1 to show non-directory files, update the error handling to make use of the POSIX error codes from file:list_dir/1 and file:format_error/1 (which had not been invented when the c module was first implemented).
