go - How to list all files in a directory without using a for loop?

Question

I am dealing with a rather large amount of files in a given directory. I need to get a list of all files but I find for loops to be too slow.

Is there any way I can list files in a directory without using a for loop?

Answer 1

files, err := filepath.Glob(path + "*.xyz")

works nicely for me.
