NAME¶
direntry - read directory entries
SYNTAX¶
#include <direntry.h>
DIR *
opendir(
fn);
struct direntry *
readdir(
dir);
void
closedir(
dir);
DIR *
dir;
char *
fn;
DESCRIPTION¶
The point of
direntry.h is to provide a uniform interface to BSD's
sys/dir.h and POSIX's
dirent.h.
The
readdir interface is highly unsatisfactory. It does not distinguish
between I/O errors and end-of-directory. It uses
malloc. The return
type for
closedir varies: some implementations return the
close
return value.
