Yea, it suggests that; but, SRF_RETURN_NEXT doesn't make that very easy.
It'd need to accept the fcinfo argument, and pg_ls_dir_files would call it once
for every tuple to be returned. So it's recursive and saves its state...
The attached is pretty ugly, but I can't see how to do better.
The alternative seems to be to build up a full list of pathnames in the SRF
initial branch, and stat them all later. Or stat them all in the INITIAL case,
and keep a list of stat structures to be emited during future calls.
BTW, it seems to me this error message should be changed:
snprintf(path, sizeof(path), "%s/%s", fctx->location, de->d_name);
if (stat(path, &attrib) < 0)
ereport(ERROR,
(errcode_for_file_access(),
- errmsg("could not stat directory \"%s\": %m", dir)));
+ errmsg("could not stat file \"%s\": %m", path)));
