.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.BR scandir
|
|
function
|
|
reads the directory
|
|
.I dirname
|
|
and builds an array of pointers to directory
|
|
entries using
|
|
.BR malloc (3).
|
|
It returns the number of entries in the array.
|
|
A pointer to the array of directory entries is stored in the location
|
|
referenced by
|
|
.IR namelist .
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.I select
|
|
parameter is a pointer to a user supplied subroutine which is called by
|
|
.BR scandir
|
|
to select which entries are to be included in the array.
|
|
The select routine is passed a
|
|
pointer to a directory entry and should return a non-zero
|
|
value if the directory entry is to be included in the array.
|
|
If
|
|
.I select
|
|
is null, then all the directory entries will be included.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.I compar
|
|
parameter is a pointer to a user supplied subroutine which is passed to
|
|
.BR qsort (3)
|
|
to sort the completed array.
|
|
If this pointer is null, the array is not sorted.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.BR alphasort
|
|
function
|
|
is a routine which can be used for the
|
|
.I compar
|
|
parameter to sort the array alphabetically.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.BR alphacasesort
|
|
function is similar to
|
|
.BR alphasort ,
|
|
but can be used for sorting in a case-insensitive manner, and is useful
|
|
for the case-insensitive filesystems used by GNO. This function is
|
|
specific to GNO.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The memory allocated for the array can be deallocated with
|
|
.BR free (3),
|
|
by freeing each pointer in the array and then the array itself.
|
|
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
Returns \-1 if the directory cannot be opened for reading or if
|
|
.BR malloc (3)
|
|
cannot allocate enough memory to hold all the data structures.
|
|
