Directory listing in C

Hi all
does anyone know how to do a directory listing in C?
Also how I can include program parameters.
Thanks!

Re: Directory listing in C

For your first question, it depends entirely upon your system. For your second, you need to explain what you mean. Have a look here, both posts.

Re: Directory listing in C

Yes it is possible to do directory listing using C.
I hope this will suffice. No need for explaination !

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <dir.h>



int main(void)

{

   struct ffblk ffblk;

   int done;

   printf("Directory listing of *.*\n");

   done = findfirst("*.*",&ffblk,0);

   while (!done)

   {

      printf("  %s\n", ffblk.ff_name);

      done = findnext(&ffblk);

   }



   return 0;

}

struct ffblk is a structure storing all the relevant parameters required to list a directory. Use help in C for more details.
findnext function call returns the next file in the directory

Comments as always welcomed !
