- .TH DIRECTORY 3
- .SH NAME
- directory, opendir, readdir, rewinddir, closedir, telldir, seekdir - directory routines
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .nf
- .ft B
- #include <sys/types.h>
- #include <dirent.h>
- DIR *opendir(const char *fIdirnamefP)
- struct dirent *readdir(DIR *fIdirpfP)
- void rewinddir(DIR *fIdirpfP)
- int closedir(DIR *fIdirpfP)
- #define _MINIX 1
- #include <sys/types.h>
- #include <dirent.h>
- long telldir(DIR *fIdirpfP)
- int seekdir(DIR *fIdirpfP, long fIposfP)
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- These routines form a system independent interface to access directories.
- .PP
- .B Opendir()
- opens the directory
- .I dirname
- and returns a pointer to this open directory stream.
- .PP
- .B Readdir()
- reads one entry from the directory as a pointer to a structure containing
- the field
- .BR d_name ,
- a character array containing the null-terminated name of the entry.
- .PP
- .B Rewinddir()
- allows the directory to be read again from the beginning.
- .PP
- .B Closedir()
- closes the directory and releases administrative data.
- .PP
- The Minix specific functions
- .B telldir()
- and
- .B seekdir()
- allow one to get the current position in the directory file and to return
- there later.
- .B Seekdir()
- may only be called with a position returned by
- .B telldir()
- or 0 (rewind). These functions should not be used in portable programs.
- .SH "SEE ALSO"
- .BR dir (5).
- .SH DIAGNOSTICS
- .B Opendir()
- returns a null pointer if
- .I dirname
- can't be opened, or if it can't allocate enough memory for the
- .B DIR
- structure.
- .PP
- .B Readdir()
- returns null if there are no more directory entries or on error.
- .PP
- .B Closedir()
- and
- .B seekdir()
- returns 0 on success, -1 on error.
- .PP
- .B Telldir()
- returns -1 on error.
- .PP
- All of them set
- .B errno
- appropriately.
- .B Readdir()
- will only set
- .B errno
- on error, not on end-of-dir, so you should set
- .B errno
- to zero beforehand, and check its value if
- .B readdir()
- returns null.
- .SH NOTES
- The return value of
- .B readdir()
- needs to be copied before the next operation on the same directory if it is
- to be saved.
