effective way to scan directory on UNIX


Hello All,

Is there an effective way to scan directory, including subfolders, and

collect file metadata on UNIX? The method should be much more

efficient than using 'ls' command.

We have a scenario when we have several hundreds of million files

located in a directory tree of any complexity. Any directory/

subdirectory may include any number of files, from 0 to millions.

Thank you,

Alona
