**Status:** implemented 20120316

8
**Required privileges:** "o". Was "h" prior to 20120720, but the HTML
9
version of /dir changed permissions and this API was modified to match
10
it.
11
12
**Request:** `/json/dir`
13
14
Options:
15
16
- `checkin=commit` (use "tip" for the latest). If checkin is not set
17
then all files from all versions of the tree are returned (but only
18
once per file - not with complete version info for each file in all
19
branches).\
20
CLI: `--checkin|-ci CHECKIN`
21
- `name=subdirectory` name. To fetch the root directory, don't pass this
22
option, or use an empty value or "/".\
23
CLI: use `--name|-n NAME` or pass it as the first argument after
24
the `dir` subcommand.

**Response payload example:**
27
28
```json
29
{
30
"name":"/", /* dir name */
31
"uuid":"ac6366218035ed62254c8d458f30801273e5d4fc",
32
"checkin":"tip",
33
"entries":[{
34
"name": "ajax", /* file name/dir name fragment */
35
"isDir": true, /* only set for directories */
36
/* The following properties are ONLY set if
37
the 'checkin' parameter is provided.
38
*/
39
"uuid": "..." /*only for files, not dirs*/,
40
"size": number,
41
"timestamp": number
42
},...]
43
}
44
```
45
46
The checkin property is only set if the request includes it. The
47
entry-specific uuid and size properties (e.g. `entries[0].uuid`) are
48
only set if the checkin request property is set and they refer to the
49
latest version of that file for the given checkin. The `isDir` property is
50
only set on directory entries.
51
52
This command does not recurse into subdirectories, though it "should be"
53
simple enough to add the option to do so.
