Even if it's small, I figured it could be useful to others, so I
wanted to share it so that ones don't need to write it one more time.
And yes, it's a dependency of another project of mine. I don't know if
it's a dependency of a project which is not mine.

No, I haven't yet.

I take your remarks under consideration, get rid of this ls call and
then submit it to extunix, following your advice.
Thank you for your time.
