There is no telldir, but you can simply call the `Readdir` (or `Readdirnames`) method in a loop, each time passing in the number of files you want to see. > From one of the answers to this question > https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39583522/how-do-i-use-seekdir-telldir-in-golang > > it looks like there is nothing for this use case, which brings me to my next > question: Any ideas about how to go about dealing such use case. To be clear, that question, and maybe yours too, is about reading an entire directory tree, not a single directory. telldir won't help you there either. seekdir/telldir, like the `Readdir` loop, is only helpful when reading a single directory. And that said, why is filepath.Walk inefficient for a large file system? It should do fine. What is the real problem?
