.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn scandir
|
|
function
|
|
reads the directory
|
|
.Fa dirname
|
|
and builds an array of pointers to directory
|
|
entries using
|
|
.Xr 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
|
|
.Fa namelist .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa select
|
|
argument is a pointer to a user supplied subroutine which is called by
|
|
.Fn 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
|
|
.Fa select
|
|
is null, then all the directory entries will be included.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa compar
|
|
argument is a pointer to a user supplied subroutine which is passed to
|
|
.Xr qsort 3
|
|
to sort the completed array.
|
|
If this pointer is null, the array is not sorted.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn alphasort
|
|
function
|
|
is a routine which can be used for the
|
|
.Fa compar
|
|
argument to sort the array alphabetically using
|
|
.Xr strcoll 3 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn versionsort
|
|
function is a routine which can be used for the
|
|
.Fa compar
|
|
argument to sort the array naturally using
|
|
.Xr strverscmp 3 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The memory allocated for the array can be deallocated with
|
|
.Xr free 3 ,
|
|
by freeing each pointer in the array and then the array itself.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn scandirat
|
|
function is similar to
|
|
.Fn scandir ,
|
|
but takes an additional
|
|
.Fa dirfd
|
|
argument.
|
|
If the supplied
|
|
.Fa dirname
|
|
is absolute, the function's behavior is identical to that of
|
|
.Fn scandir ,
|
|
the
|
|
.Fa dirfd
|
|
argument is unused.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa dirname
|
|
is relative,
|
|
.Fa dirfd
|
|
must be a valid file descriptor referencing a directory, in
|
|
which case the
|
|
.Fa dirname
|
|
lookup is performed relative to the directory referenced by
|
|
.Fa dirfd .
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa dirfd
|
|
has the special value
|
|
.Va AT_FDCWD ,
|
|
then the current process directory is used as the base for
|
|
relative lookups.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr openat 2
|
|
for additional details.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn scandir_b
|
|
function behaves in the same way as
|
|
.Fn scandir ,
|
|
but takes blocks as arguments instead of function pointers and calls
|
|
.Fn qsort_b
|
|
rather than
|
|
.Fn qsort .
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
Returns \-1 if the directory cannot be opened for reading or if
|
|
.Xr malloc 3
|
|
cannot allocate enough memory to hold all the data structures.
