Remarks

This method is identical to Directory.GetDirectories(string) (path , "*").

The path argument is permitted to specify relative or absolute path information. Relative path information is interpreted as relative to the current working directory.

Note: To obtain the current working directory, see Directory.GetCurrentDirectory.

The names returned by this method are prefixed with the directory information provided in path.
