Note that ioutil.ReadDir() has been deprecated since Go 1.16. Which is a very long time. Its documentation is ambiguous but given the behavior you're reporting I would guess it is using the equivalent of os.Lstat() and the "files" you're dealing with are symlinks. Note that os.ReadDir() (which replaced ioutil.ReadDir) explicitly states that is what it does:
Readdir reads the contents of the directory associated with file and returns a slice of up to n FileInfo values, as would be returned by Lstat, in directory order. Subsequent calls on the same file will yield further FileInfos. On Thu, Oct 5, 2023 at 1:35 PM Mandolyte <cecil....@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks for responding!
