love.filesystem.enumerate
Removed in LÖVE 0.9.0
It has been renamed to love.filesystem.getDirectoryItems.
Returns a table with the names of files and subdirectories in the specified path. The table is not sorted in any way; the order is undefined.
If the path passed to the function exists in the game and the save directory, it will list the files and directories from both places.
