Scaning disk

Hi,
I would like to scan hard disk in my application written in gcc(c language), is it possible.
Are there already any functions or structures with linux gcc to make it work....

Thanx

Everything is possible with c.

In the filesystem level, or at the byte level?

What do you mean by scanning?

Looking for some strings in files? Try

Code:

grep -r foo /

Something else, what?
