//@ ### ls([options,] [path, ...])

//@ Available options:
//@
//@ + `-R`: recursive
//@ + `-A`: all files (include files beginning with `.`, except for `.` and `..`)
//@ + `-L`: follow symlinks
//@ + `-d`: list directories themselves, not their contents
//@ + `-l`: provides more details for each file. Specifically, each file is
//@         represented by a structured object with separate fields for file
//@         metadata (see
//@         [`fs.Stats`](https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fs_class_fs_stats)). The
//@         return value also overrides `.toString()` to resemble `ls -l`'s
//@         output format for human readability, but programmatic usage should
//@         depend on the stable object format rather than the `.toString()`
//@         representation.
//@
//@ Examples:
//@
//@ ```javascript
//@ ls('projs/*.js');
//@ ls('projs/*
