[chef] Listing files in cookbook/files/default/

["Jason J. W. Williams" < >]

Is there a better way to dynamically list the contents of the
<cookbook>/files/default/ directory from a recipe at runtime than
inspecting that path in /var/chef/cache/cookbooks ?

My concern is that the Chef sometimes removes files from the cache
that are in the cookbook but it doesn't consider currently needed.
Thank you in advance.
