You can. Use your favorite programming language's interface for listing the content of a directory!

`ls` is for you, the human.

In C, my favourite language, I would do this:

        system("ls");

Please never do this; do not use system, it executes $SHELL and you can fall victim to various PATH munging attacks. :)
