My code:

import std.file;

int main(char[][] args)
{
if(args.length != 2)
{
return 0;
}

if(exists(args[1]) && isdir(args[1]))
{
char[][] contents = listdir(args[1]);
printf("Directory listing for %.*s:\n\n", args[1]);
for(int i = 0;i < contents.length;i++)
{
printf("%.*s", contents);
}
}
return 0;
}

Why won't listdir() work?
I'm using DMD 0.95 on Linux (Fedora Core 2).

This might have something to do with it. From std/file.d:

char[][] listdir(char[] pathname)
{
    assert(0);          // BUG: not implemented
    return null;
}

I implemented it quite awhile ago and it was never used: http://www.digitalmars.com/drn-bin/wwwnews?digitalmars.D/796

No, becuase on mine the function is this:

char[][] listdir(char[] pathname)
{
char[][] result;
char[] c;
HANDLE h;

c = std.path.join(pathname, "*.*");
if (useWfuncs)
{
WIN32_FIND_DATAW fileinfo;

h = FindFirstFileW(std.utf.toUTF16z(c), &fileinfo);
if (h != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
{
do
{   int i;
int clength;

// Skip "." and ".."
if (std.string.wcscmp(fileinfo.cFileName, ".") == 0 ||
std.string.wcscmp(fileinfo.cFileName, "..") == 0)
continue;

i = result.length;
result.length = i + 1;
clength = std.string.wcslen(fileinfo.cFileName);
result[i] = std.utf.toUTF8(fileinfo.cFileName[0 .. clength]);
} while (FindNextFileW(h,&fileinfo) != FALSE);
FindClose(h);
}
}
else
{
WIN32_FIND_DATA fileinfo;

h = FindFirstFileA(toMBSz(c), &fileinfo);
if (h != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
{
do
{   int i;
int clength;
wchar[] wbuf;
int n;

// Skip "." and ".."
if (std.string.strcmp(fileinfo.cFileName, ".") == 0 ||
std.string.strcmp(fileinfo.cFileName, "..") == 0)
continue;

i = result.length;
result.length = i + 1;
clength = std.string.strlen(fileinfo.cFileName);

//result[i] = fileinfo.cFileName[0 .. clength].dup;

// Convert cFileName[] to unicode
wbuf.length = MultiByteToWideChar(0,0,fileinfo.cFileName,clength,null,0);
n =
MultiByteToWideChar(0,0,fileinfo.cFileName,clength,cast(wchar*)wbuf,wbuf.length);
assert(n == wbuf.length);
result[i] = std.utf.toUTF8(wbuf);

} while (FindNextFileA(h,&fileinfo) != FALSE);
FindClose(h);
}
}
return result;
}

Maybe it's Windows-only?

yup - the OP said they were on Linux. The Windows version is fine.

Why not use std.recls?

I think listdir should work anyway, don't you?

Of course. I was just being practical, to get him working right now. :)

I thought that that wasn't in the library yet. I'll check it out :)

I can't decode the base64... the quick base64 encoder/decoder (written in D :)
that I made says that the string is invalid (I removed all of the newlines).

Can you re-post the code without using the base64 encoding?
