    @class wxDirTraverser

    wxDirTraverser is an abstract interface which must be implemented by objects
    passed to wxDir::Traverse function.

    Example of use (this works almost like wxDir::GetAllFiles):

    @code
    class wxDirTraverserSimple : public wxDirTraverser
        {
        public:
            wxDirTraverserSimple(wxArrayString& files) : m_files(files) { }

            virtual wxDirTraverseResult OnFile(const wxString& filename)
            {
                m_files.Add(filename);
                return wxDIR_CONTINUE;
            }

            virtual wxDirTraverseResult OnDir(const wxString& WXUNUSED(dirname))
            {
                return wxDIR_CONTINUE;
            }

        private:
            wxArrayString& m_files;
        };

        // get the names of all files in the array
        wxArrayString files;
        wxDirTraverserSimple traverser(files);

        wxDir dir(dirname);
        dir.Traverse(traverser);
    @endcode

    @library{wxbase}
    @category{file}

/**
    @class wxDir
    @wxheader{dir.h}

    wxDir is a portable equivalent of Unix open/read/closedir functions which
    allow enumerating of the files in a directory. wxDir allows to enumerate files
    as well as directories.

    wxDir also provides a flexible way to enumerate files recursively using
    wxDir::Traverse or a simpler
    wxDir::GetAllFiles function.

    Example of use:

    @code
    wxDir dir(wxGetCwd());

        if ( !dir.IsOpened() )
        {
            // deal with the error here - wxDir would already log an error message
            // explaining the exact reason of the failure
            return;
        }

        puts("Enumerating object files in current directory:");

        wxString filename;

        bool cont = dir.GetFirst(, filespec, flags);
        while ( cont )
        {
            printf("%s\n", filename.c_str());

            cont = dir.GetNext();
        }
    @endcode
