Description

Would it be valuable if basic usage documentation was extended with methods to navigate and check a directory? Think of methods like ls, glob, info (and more) and also how we can use the filter argument.

If it is already documented somewhere and I missed it, feel free to close this issue.

btw, I am willing to make a PR to add this to the documentation.

Research direction

Start by locating the basic usage documentation and checking whether filesystem navigation and inspection methods such as ls, glob, and info are already covered. Review how the filter argument is documented; the work is done when the relevant basic usage guidance explains these methods and filtering clearly.
