None

#include <SD.h> File root; void setup ( )
{
  Serial.begin ( 9600 ) ;
  pinMode ( 10 , OUTPUT ) ;   SD.begin ( 10 ) ;   root = SD.open ( "/" ) ;   printDirectory(root, 0 ) ;   Serial.println ( "done!" ) ;
} void loop ( )
{
  // nothing happens after setup finishes.
} void printDirectory(File dir, int numTabs) {
   while ( true ) {      File entry =  dir.openNextFile ( ) ;
     if ( ! entry) {
       // no more files
       // return to the first file in the directory
       dir.rewindDirectory ( ) ;
       break ;
     }
     for (uint8_t i= 0 ; i<numTabs; i++ ) {
       Serial.print ( '\t' ) ;
     }
     Serial.print (entry.name ( ) ) ;
     if (entry.isDirectory ( ) ) {
       Serial.println ( "/" ) ;
       printDirectory(entry, numTabs+ 1 ) ;
     } else {
       // files have sizes, directories do not
       Serial.print ( "\t \t" ) ;
       Serial.println (entry.size ( ) , DEC ) ;
     }
