deals with the usual __opendir2() calls, and the rest part with an interface translator to expose fdopendir(3) functionality. Manual page was obtained from kib@'s work for *at(2) system calls.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn opendir
|
|
function
|
|
opens the directory named by
|
|
.Fa filename ,
|
|
associates a
|
|
.Em directory stream
|
|
with it
|
|
and
|
|
returns a pointer to be used to identify the
|
|
.Em directory stream
|
|
in subsequent operations.
|
|
The pointer
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
is returned if
|
|
.Fa filename
|
|
cannot be accessed, or if it cannot
|
|
.Xr malloc 3
|
|
enough memory to hold the whole thing.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fdopendir
|
|
function is equivalent to the
|
|
.Fn opendir
|
|
function except that the directory is specified by a file descriptor
|
|
.Fa fd
|
|
rather than by a name.
|
|
The file offset associated with the file descriptor at the time of the call
|
|
determines which entries are returned.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Upon successful return from
|
|
.Fn fdopendir ,
|
|
the file descriptor is under the control of the system,
|
|
and if any attempt is made to close the file descriptor,
|
|
or to modify the state of the associated description other than by means
|
|
of
|
|
.Fn closedir ,
|
|
.Fn readdir ,
|
|
.Fn readdir_r ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn rewinddir ,
|
|
the behavior is undefined.
|
|
Upon calling
|
|
.Fn closedir
|
|
the file descriptor is closed.
|
|
The
|
|
.Dv FD_CLOEXEC
|
|
flag is set on the file descriptor by a successful call to
|
|
.Fn fdopendir .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn readdir
|
|
function
|
|
returns a pointer to the next directory entry.
|
|
It returns
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
upon reaching the end of the directory or detecting an invalid
|
|
.Fn seekdir
|
|
operation.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn readdir_r
|
|
function
|
|
provides the same functionality as
|
|
.Fn readdir ,
|
|
but the caller must provide a directory
|
|
.Fa entry
|
|
buffer to store the results in.
|
|
If the read succeeds,
|
|
.Fa result
|
|
is pointed at the
|
|
.Fa entry ;
|
|
upon reaching the end of the directory
|
|
.Fa result
|
|
is set to
|
|
.Dv NULL .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn readdir_r
|
|
function
|
|
returns 0 on success or an error number to indicate failure.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn telldir
|
|
function
|
|
returns the current location associated with the named
|
|
.Em directory stream .
|
|
Values returned by
|
|
.Fn telldir
|
|
are good only for the lifetime of the
|
|
.Dv DIR
|
|
pointer,
|
|
.Fa dirp ,
|
|
from which they are derived.
|
|
If the directory is closed and then
|
|
reopened, prior values returned by
|
|
.Fn telldir
|
|
will no longer be valid.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn seekdir
|
|
function
|
|
sets the position of the next
|
|
.Fn readdir
|
|
operation on the
|
|
.Em directory stream .
|
|
The new position reverts to the one associated with the
|
|
.Em directory stream
|
|
when the
|
|
.Fn telldir
|
|
operation was performed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn rewinddir
|
|
function
|
|
resets the position of the named
|
|
.Em directory stream
|
|
to the beginning of the directory.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn closedir
|
|
function
|
|
closes the named
|
|
.Em directory stream
|
|
and frees the structure associated with the
|
|
.Fa dirp
|
|
pointer,
|
|
returning 0 on success.
|
|
On failure, \-1 is returned and the global variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn dirfd
|
|
function
|
|
returns the integer file descriptor associated with the named
|
|
.Em directory stream ,
|
|
see
|
|
.Xr open 2 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Sample code which searches a directory for entry ``name'' is:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
len = strlen(name);
|
|
dirp = opendir(".");
|
|
while ((dp = readdir(dirp)) != NULL)
|
|
if (dp->d_namlen == len && !strcmp(dp->d_name, name)) {
|
|
(void)closedir(dirp);
|
|
return FOUND;
|
|
}
|
|
(void)closedir(dirp);
|
|
return NOT_FOUND;
