//  loads only the top-level directory, and does not use parent as a path.

Please add '@interface' section in './../src/zdir.c'.

The zdir class gives access to the file system index. It will load a directory tree (a directory plus all child directories) into a zdir structure and then let you navigate that structure. It exists mainly to wrap non-portable OS functions to do this.

Please add @discuss section in ./../src/zdir.c.
