// There are two distinct implementations of ListDir -- one for Linux and another for everything
// else. The linux-specific implementation is 20% faster.
//
// The reason sorting is bundled with directory listing is performance on Linux. The API of
// getdents64 allows for much faster sorting than what can be done with a plain vector<char*>.
// For the POSIX implementation there is no need to bundle sorting in this way. In fact, it's
// done at the end with a generic StrSort() call.
//
// For best results, reuse the arena and vector for multiple calls to avoid heap allocations.
