readdir_r()

Get information about the next matching filename

Synopsis:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <dirent.h>

int readdir_r( DIR * dirp,
               struct dirent * entry,
               struct direct ** result );

Library:

libc

Description:

If _POSIX_THREAD_SAFE_FUNCTIONS is defined, readdir_r() initializes the dirent structure referenced by entry with the directory entry at the current position in the directory stream referred to by dirp, and stores a pointer to this structure in result.

The storage pointed by entry must be large enough for a dirent structure with the s_name member an array of char containing at least NAME_MAX plus one element.

The struct dirent structure doesn't include space for the pathname. You must provide it: struct dirent *entry; entry = malloc( sizeof(*entry) + NAME_MAX + 1 );

Returns:

EOK

Success.

EBADF

The dirp argument doesn't refer to an open directory stream.

Classification:

POSIX 1003.1
