Getting file names in a directory using C on linux.
 

Hi All,

I need a small program using C to get all file names in a specified directory in linux by giving file type as input (like *.c or *.so).


Thanks in advance,
Suresh B

Why are you trying to reinvent find or ls?

rajsun: Use the opendir() function to read the files in a directory.

opendir()
sacndir()
closedir()

.. see dirent.h

It's another thread in the same forum, but related to processes...
