    The `d_type` field of `struct dirent` can be `DT_UNKNOWN` if a
filesystem doesn't support returning the file type in directory entries.
Linux's readdir(3) man page, for example, says: "Currently, only some
filesystems [...] have full support for returning the file type in
d_type. All applications must properly handle a return of DT_UNKNOWN."
