I just tried it with Shark, and it appears not to be using the standard BSD opendir and readdir APIs, but rather the proprietary to Apple (as far as I can tell) getdirentriesattr API, which actually does seem to have a man page now, which says that it doesn't work on all volume formats (which means that without further testing, I don't even know if it would work on non-HFS+ disks), so it's not a particularly good idea to use it.
You can, of course, use getattrlist() to *test* whether getdirentriesattr() will work in advance, and then use something else if it doesn't. Which is what Carbon does, in fact.
