IMHO omitting pg_logdir_ls is a bad idea, because the function is
intended to hide server internal's naming scheme from the user. We want
as few server side implementation specific client side code as possible.
    In addition, pg_logdir_ls filters files that are not log files.
You'll probably have trouble writing a query that performes this task.
