From the article we're commenting on, which is comparing the interface of S3 to the POSIX interface. Not any given filesystem + platform specific interface.

  The article does not mention POSIX, or anything about listing files, at all.

    The article starts out by making a comparison between the posix api filesystem calls and S3's api. The context is very much a comparison between those two api surface areas.

    It mistakenly mentions UNIX whilst referencing the POSIX filesystem API, and I literally quoted where it talks about listing in my original comment.
