getdirentries ? get directory entries in a filesystem independent format |
#define __USE_BSD or #define __USE_MISC ssize_t getdirentries(int fd, char *buf, size_t nbytes , off_t *basep); |
Read directory entries from the directory specified by fd into buf. At most nbytes are read. Reading starts at offset *basep, and *basep is updated with the new position after reading. |
getdirentries returns the number of bytes read or zero when at the end of the directory. If an error occurs, ?1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately. |
See the Linux library source code for details. |
