03/31: clarify that directory information needs to be printed by myls

Problem 1
Consider a disk with 5,000 cylinders. Assume that the tracks on one of its platters are numbered 0 to 4,999. The
disk arm is currently at cylinder 2,150 and the previous request was at cylinder 1,805.
1. List the orders with which the disk processes the following requests: 2,069; 1,212; 2,296; 2,800; 544; 1,618;
356; 1,523; 4,965; 3,681 with three different scheduling algorithms FCFS, SCAN, or C-SCAN.
2. Calculate the total distance (in cylinders) that the disk arm moves to satisfy all the pending requests with each
scheduling algorithm.
Put your answers in problems.txt (ASCII file).
Problem 2
The following two questions are generated with the script vsfs.py, which is introduced at the end of Chapter 40.
Get yourself familiarized with the script by reading the corresponding README-vsfs and try some problems
generated by it. Then please answer the following eight questions.

Problem 3
Write a program that lists files and directories in the given directory. When called without any arguments, the

program should just print the file and directory names. When invoked with the -l flag, the program should print out
information about each file and directory, such as the owner, group, permissions, and other information obtained
from the stat() system call. The program should take one additional argument, which is the directory to read, e.g.,
"myls -l directory". If no directory is given, the program should just use the current working directory. Useful
interfaces: stat(), opendir(), readdir(), getcwd().
Note that this is one problem from OSTEP Chapter 39.
Expected output format are listed below. In total we will test four different commands: "./myls" and "./myls -l", and
each may be supplied with an optional directory path. No specific order is required when you print out the names
under one directory.
eos$ ./myls [/optional/path/to/your/directory]
.
..
myls.c
myls
eos$ ./myls -l [/optional/path/to/your/directory]
