getdirentries - get directory entries in a filesystem-independent format
#include <dirent.h>
ssize_t getdirentries(int fd
, char *buf
, size_t nbytes
, off_t *basep
);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
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.
