[gdal-dev] Install GDAL with gdal_ls available in PATH

[Even Rouault]

Abul,

gdal_ls.py is a non officially promoted script that isn't installed with 
GDAL. Your best luck is just to fetch it from 
https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/blob/master/swig/python/gdal-utils/osgeo_utils/samples/gdal_ls.py 
, ship it with your program, and directly points at it.  It obviously 
requires users to have the GDAL Python bindings installed.

Your other alternative could be to "port" it to Go using Go bindings, 
but I don't know much about the distribution story of go bindings, so 
don't ask me more about that part. I see that lukeroth/gdal has 
VSIReadDirRecursive() which is essentially what you need:
