list files - unix bug?

Simon Schafferer wrote

Hi,

when I call the function "list.files()" it also lists directories,
although
the parameter include.dirs is set to FALSE by default.
The function also lists directories when the parameter include.dirs is
explicitly set to FALSE "list.files(include.dirs=FALSE)".
I have tested this also on a mac os -> same results.

Fo the include.dirs argument the help states

Should subdirectory names be included in recursive listings? (There always
are in non-recursive ones).

You are doing a non-recursive listing (recursive=FALSE is the default).
That's why you are getting directories.

In the description of include.dirs the text "There always are ..."  is most
likely a typo. I guess that it should read as: They always are ...
