RecursiveDirectoryIterator::__construct — Constructs a RecursiveDirectoryIterator
RecursiveDirectoryIterator::getChildren — Returns an iterator for the current entry if it is a directory
RecursiveDirectoryIterator::getSubPath — Get sub path
RecursiveDirectoryIterator::getSubPathname — Get sub path and name
RecursiveDirectoryIterator::hasChildren — Returns whether current entry is a directory and not '.' or '..'
RecursiveDirectoryIterator::key — Return path and filename of current dir entry
RecursiveDirectoryIterator::next — Move to next entry
RecursiveDirectoryIterator::rewind — Rewind dir back to the start
