This module is handy, if you want to walk through the structure on a 'save' path.
If it would be asynchronous the sorting of the structure could vary from time to time.
Example use case: Generating hashes, there you will always want to put fileX before fileY because otherwise the hash would change!
`(javascript)
var readdirrsync = require('readdirrsync');
var crypto = require('crypto');
var hash = crypto.createHash('md5');
var files = readdirrsync(dirname);
for (var i in files) {
hash.update(fs.readFileSync(files[i]));
}
console.log(hash.digest('hex'));
