     1.8 +/** @fn getdirentries(int x, char *ptr, int y, long *lptr) 
     1.9 +getdirentries(int fd, char *buf, int nbytes, long *basep)
    1.10 +@param x
    1.11 +@param ptr
    1.12 +@param y
    1.13 +@param lptr
    1.14 +@return   If successful, the number of bytes actually transferred is returned.
    1.15 +Otherwise, -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.
    1.16 +
    1.17 +  The getdirentries system call reads directory entries from the directory 
    1.18 +referenced by the file descriptor x into the buffer pointed to by ptr, in a file system independent format. Up to y of data will be transferred. The y argument must be greater than or equal to the block size associated 
    1.19 +with the file, see stat. Some file systems may not support these system 
    1.20 +calls with buffers smaller than this size.
    1.21 +
    1.22 + The data in the buffer is a series of dirent
    1.23 +@code
    1.24 +structures each containing the following entries: u_int32_t d_fileno;
    1.25 +u_int16_t d_reclen;
    1.26 +u_int8_t  d_type;
    1.27 +u_int8_t  d_namlen;
    1.28 +char  d_name[MAXNAMELEN + 1];/* see below */
    1.29 +@endcode
    1.30 +
    1.31 + The d_fileno entry is a number which is unique for each distinct file in 
    1.32 +  the file system. Files that are linked by hard links (see link ) have the same d_fileno. The d_reclen entry is the length, in bytes, of the directory record. The d_type entry is the type of the file pointed to by the directory record. 
    1.33 +  The file type values are defined in \<sys/dirent.h\>. Presently, however, file type is not supported 
    1.34 +  and d_type is set to 0. The d_name entry contains a null terminated file name. The d_namlen entry specifies the length of the file name excluding the null 
    1.35 +  byte. Thus the actual size of d_name may vary from 1 to MAXNAMELEN + 1.
    1.36 +
    1.37 + Entries may be separated by extra space.
    1.38 +The d_reclen entry may be used as an offset from the start of a dirent structure to the next structure, if any.
    1.39 +
    1.40 + The actual number of bytes transferred is returned. The current position pointer 
    1.41 +  associated with x is set to point to the next block of entries. The pointer may not 
    1.42 +  advance by the number of bytes returned by getdirentries . A value of zero is returned when the end of the directory 
    1.43 +  has been reached.
    1.44 +
    1.45 + The getdirentries system call writes the position of the block read into 
    1.46 +  the location pointed to by lptr. Alternatively, the current position pointer may be set and retrieved 
    1.47 +  by lseek. The current position pointer should only 
    1.48 +  be set to a value returned by lseek, a value returned in the location pointed 
    1.49 +  to by basep ( (getdirentries); only) or zero.

   1.109 +/** @fn  opendir(const char *_path)
   1.110 +@param _path
   1.111 +
   1.112 +Note: This description also covers the following functions -
   1.113 + readdir()  readdir_r()  telldir()  seekdir()  rewinddir()  closedir()  dirfd() 
   1.114 +
   1.115 +@return   closedir function returns 0 on success or -1 on failure.
   1.116 +
   1.117 +  The opendir function
   1.118 +opens the directory named by _path ,
   1.119 +associates a directory stream with it
   1.120 +and
   1.121 +returns a pointer to be used to identify the directory stream in subsequent operations.
   1.122 +The pointer NULL is returned if filename cannot be accessed, or if it cannot malloc enough memory to hold the whole thing.
   1.123 +
   1.124 + The readdir function
   1.125 +returns a pointer to the next directory entry.
   1.126 +It returns NULL upon reaching the end of the directory or detecting an invalid seekdir operation.
   1.127 +
   1.128 + The readdir_r function
   1.129 +provides the same functionality as readdir ,
   1.130 +but the caller must provide a directory entry buffer to store the results in.
   1.131 +If the read succeeds, result is pointed at the entry ;
   1.132 +upon reaching the end of the directory result is set to NULL .
   1.133 +The readdir_r function
   1.134 +returns 0 on success or an error number to indicate failure.
   1.135 +
   1.136 + The telldir function
   1.137 +returns the current location associated with the named directory stream .
   1.138 +Values returned by telldir are good only for the lifetime of the DIR pointer, dirp ,
   1.139 +from which they are derived.
   1.140 +If the directory is closed and then
   1.141 +reopened, prior values returned by telldir will no longer be valid.
   1.142 +
   1.143 + The seekdir function
   1.144 +sets the position of the next readdir operation on the directory stream .
   1.145 +The new position reverts to the one associated with the directory stream when the telldir operation was performed.
   1.146 +
   1.147 + The rewinddir function
   1.148 +resets the position of the named directory stream to the beginning of the directory.
   1.149 +
   1.150 + The closedir function
   1.151 +closes the named directory stream and frees the structure associated with the dirp pointer,
   1.152 +returning 0 on success.
   1.153 +On failure, -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.
   1.154 +
   1.155 + The dirfd function
   1.156 +returns the integer file descriptor associated with the named directory stream ,
   1.157 +see open .
   1.158 +
   1.159 +@code
   1.160 + Sample code which searches a directory for entry ‘‘name’’ is: len = strlen(name);
   1.161 +dirp = opendir(".");
   1.162 +while ((dp = readdir(dirp)) != NULL)
   1.163 +        if (dp->d_namlen == len && !strcmp(dp->d_name, name)) {
   1.164 +                (void)closedir(dirp);
   1.165 +                return FOUND;
   1.166 +        }
   1.167 +(void)closedir(dirp);
   1.168 +return NOT_FOUND;
   1.169 +@endcode
   1.170 +
   1.171 +Examples:
   1.172 +@code
   1.173 +/* Detailed description: This test code demonstrates usage of opendir system call, open directory name test.
   1.174 + Preconditions: Expects Test directory to be present in the current working directory.

   1.182 +  {
   1.183 +     printf("Failed to open directory Test\n");
   1.184 +     return -1;

   1.262 +Note: This description also covers the following functions -
   1.263 + alphasort() 
   1.264 +
   1.265 +  The scandir function
   1.266 +reads the directory dirname and builds an array of pointers to directory
   1.267 +entries using malloc It returns the number of entries in the array.
   1.268 +A pointer to the array of directory entries is stored in the location
   1.269 +referenced by namelist.
   1.270 +
   1.271 + The select argument is a pointer to a user supplied subroutine which is called by scandir to select which entries are to be included in the array.
   1.272 +The select routine is passed a
   1.273 +pointer to a directory entry and should return a non-zero
   1.274 +value if the directory entry is to be included in the array.
   1.275 +If select is null, then all the directory entries will be included.
   1.276 +
   1.277 + The compar argument is a pointer to a user supplied subroutine which is passed to qsort to sort the completed array.
   1.278 +If this pointer is null, the array is not sorted.
   1.279 +
   1.280 + The alphasort function
   1.281 +is a routine which can be used for the compar argument to sort the array alphabetically.
   1.282 +
   1.283 + The memory allocated for the array can be deallocated with free ,
   1.284 +by freeing each pointer in the array and then the array itself.
