+readdir({directory} [, {expr}])
+		Return a list with file and directory names in {directory}.
+
+		When {expr} is omitted all entries are included.
+		When {expr} is given, it is evaluated to check what to do:
+			If {expr} results in -1 then no further entries will
+			be handled.
+			If {expr} results in 0 then this entry will not be
+			added to the list.
+			If {expr} results in 1 then this entry will be added
+			to the list.
+		Each time {expr} is evaluated |v:val| is set to the entry name.
+		When {expr} is a function the name is passed as the argument.
+		For example, to get a list of files ending in ".txt": >
+		  readdir(dirname, {n -> n =~ '.txt$'})
+<		To skip hidden and backup files: >
+		  readdir(dirname, {n -> n !~ '^\.\|\~$'})
