Something like this:

SELECT v.d, f.f, s.size, s.isdir
FROM (values('pg_xlog') ) AS v(d),
     LATERAL pg_ls_dir(v.d) AS f(f),
     LATERAL pg_stat_file(v.d || '/' || f.f) as s;
    d    |            f             |   size   | isdir
---------+--------------------------+----------+-------
 pg_xlog | archive_status           |     4096 | t
 pg_xlog | 000000010000000000000001 | 16777216 | f
(2 rows)

HTH,

Joe
