console.log(dirent.name);
}
stop( './' ). catch (console.error);

Run index.js file using the following command:
node index.js
Output:
abcd.cer
Example 2:
Filename: index.js
javascript
const fs = require( 'fs' );
async function stop(path) {
let dir = null ;
try {
dir = await fs.promises.opendir(
new URL('file:
for ( var i = 0 ; i <= 3 ; i ++ ) {
var dirent = dir.readSync();
console.log(dirent.name);
}
} finally {
if (dir) {
console.log( "dir is closed successfully" );
const promise = dir.closeSync()
}
}
}
stop('./'). catch (console.error);
