I see. I'm aware that the topic of an opendir() for the CBMs was
discussed here several times over the years. I seem to remember that
the argumentation was something like:

- If the directory listing is done like BASIC does then it's about
parsing the output which tends to vary between DOSes (and other
aspects?).

- If the directory listing is done via low level access then it's
about supporting different disk layouts.

Maybe Uz felt that both approaches aren't "reliable" enough?

My personal take however is that any code that works just as good as
the current cbm_opendir() but offers the POSIX API would be a major
improvement...

As we discussed some time ago I personally the "usr" default. However
I wouldn't have an issue with overriding a "prg" default with "usr"
(which I rely on) as first line in main().
