I would like to see what the actual contents of a directory file are (not the files that are contained within that directory).
Specifically I would like to be able to do something like:
od -c .
I know this works (used to work?) on unix, as it is shown on page 59 of 'The Unix Programming Environment'
Yet when I attempt on my version of Arch Linux I get the following:
read error: Is a directory
Is there another command I should be using to inspect the bytes of a directory?
