/*
 * This file contains a function, get_dir_list() that will get a directory
 * listing and put all the names into a table (an array of char *'s table)
 * and return it to you (along with the number of entries in the directory
 * if desired). The table is NULL terminated (i.e. the entry after the last
 * one is a NULL), and is just like an argv style array.
 *
 * If an error occurs (memory allocation, bad directory name, etc), you
 * will get a NULL back.
 *
 * Each entry of the returned table points to a NULL-terminated string
 * that contains the name of a file in the directory.  If the name is
 * a directory, it has a slash appended to it.
 *
 * When you are done with the table, you should free it manually, or you
 * can call the function free_table() provided down below.
 *
 * See the sample main() down below for how to use it.  Ignore (or steal
 * if you'd like) the other code that isn't particularly relevant (i.e.
 * the support functions).
