.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
This function takes the ALLEGRO_FS_ENTRY(3alleg5) \f[C]dir\f[], which
should represent a directory, and looks for any other file system
entries that are in it.
This function will then call the callback function \f[C]callback\f[]
once for every filesystem entry in the directory \f[C]dir\f[].
.PP
The callback \f[C]callback\f[] must be of type
\f[C]int\ callback(ALLEGRO_FS_ENTRY\ *\ entry,\ void\ *\ extra)\f[].
The \f[C]callback\f[] will be called with a pointer to an
ALLEGRO_FS_ENTRY(3alleg5) that matches one file or directory in
\f[C]dir\f[], and the pointer passed in the \f[C]extra\f[] parameter to
al_for_each_fs_entry(3alleg5).
.PP
When \f[C]callback\f[] returns \f[C]ALLEGRO_FOR_EACH_FS_ENTRY_STOP\f[]
or \f[C]ALLEGRO_FOR_EACH_FS_ENTRY_ERROR\f[], iteration will stop
immediately and al_for_each_fs_entry(3alleg5) will return the value the
\f[C]callback\f[] returned.
.PP
When \f[C]callback\f[] returns \f[C]ALLEGRO_FOR_EACH_FS_ENTRY_OK\f[]
iteration will continue normally, and if the ALLEGRO_FS_ENTRY(3alleg5)
parameter of \f[C]callback\f[] is a directory,
al_for_each_fs_entry(3alleg5) will call itself on that directory.
Therefore the function will recusively descend into that directory.
.PP
However, when \f[C]callback\f[] returns
\f[C]ALLEGRO_FOR_EACH_FS_ENTRY_SKIP\f[] iteration will continue, but
al_for_each_fs_entry(3alleg5) will NOT recurse into the
ALLEGRO_FS_ENTRY(3alleg5) parameter of \f[C]callback\f[] even if it is a
directory.
.PP
This function will skip any files or directories named \f[C]\&.\f[] or
\f[C]\&..\f[] which may exist on certain platforms and may signify the
current and the parent directory.
The \f[C]callback\f[] will not be called for files or directories with
such a name.
.PP
Returns ALLEGRO_FOR_EACH_FS_ENTRY_OK if successful, or
ALLEGRO_FOR_EACH_FS_ENTRY_ERROR if something went wrong in processing
the directory.
In that case it will use al_set_errno(3alleg5) to indicate the type of
error which occurred.
This function returns ALLEGRO_FOR_EACH_FS_ENTRY_STOP in case iteration
was stopped by making \f[C]callback\f[] return that value.
In this case, al_set_errno(3alleg5) will not be used.
