List Definition from Social Science Dictionaries & Glossaries
The place where a tournament was to be held. "To be in the lists" meant to be competing in the tournament, as well as referring to the physical place where the combats were held. Originally the lists were simply designated as participation, but by the 14th century, when more enclosed fields began to be used, the term meant the field. During the 15th century René d’Anjou described the lists in great detail, including the proper dimensions for the field.
In modern usage the word has been twisted somewhat to mean the list of combatants who are participating in a tournament. In the Company of Saint George we have used the term "list enclosure" to refer to our fencing that surrounds a list field, "venans " to refer to the challengers and "tenans " to refer to the defenders, sometimes the sponsors of a pas d’armes .

public String [] list ()
Returns an array of strings naming the files and directories in the directory denoted by this abstract pathname. If this abstract pathname does not denote a directory, then this method returns null. Otherwise an array of strings is returned, one for each file or directory in the directory. Names denoting the directory itself and the directory's parent directory are not included in the result. Each string is a file name rather than a complete path. There is no guarantee that the name strings in the resulting array will appear in any specific order; they are not, in particular, guaranteed to appear in alphabetical order.Returns: An array of strings naming the files and directories in the directory denoted by this abstract pathname. The array will be empty if the directory is empty. Returns null if this abstract pathname does not denote a directory, or if an I/O error occurs.Throws: SecurityException - If a security manager exists and its method denies read access to the directory
