function system_listing in Drupal 4

Returns an array of files objects of the given type from both the site-wide directory (i.e. modules/) and site-specific directory (i.e. sites/somesite/modules/). The returned array will be keyed using the key specified (name, basename, filename). Using name or basename will cause site-specific files to shadow files in the default directories. That is, if a file with the same name appears in both location, only the site-specific version will be included.

Parameters

$mask: The regular expression of the files to find.

$directory: The subdirectory name in which the files are found. For example, 'modules' will search in both modules/ and sites/somesite/modules/.

$key: The key to be passed to file_scan_directory().

$min_depth: Minimum depth of directories to return files from.

Return value

An array of file objects of the specified type.
