NAME
ndir.h — format of HP-UX directory streams
DESCRIPTION
This header file defines data types used by the directory
stream routines described in
directory(3C).
It is provided to allow older
HP-UX
programs to compile unmodified.
This file is obsoleted starting from HP-UX 10.30 and is going to be
removed in future releases.
The header file
<dirent.h>
described on
dirent(5)
should be used in all new programs for compatibility with
System V Release 3, the
X/Open Portability Guide,
and the
IEEE P1003.1 POSIX
standard.
The following data types are defined:
- DIR
A structure containing information about an open directory stream.
- struct direct
A structure defining the format of entries returned by the old
HP-UX
readdir
function (see
directory(3C)).
The
struct direct
structure includes the following members:
char d_name[MAXNAMLEN+1]; /* name of directory entry */
long d_ino; /* file serial number */
short d_namlen; /* length of string in d_name */
short d_reclen; /* length of this record */
The constant
MAXNAMLEN
is defined in
<ndir.h>.
This file also contains external declarations for the functions in the
directory(3C)
package, including the following declaration:
extern struct direct *readdir();
WARNINGS
lint(1)
might complain about programs that include this file,
although they compile and run correctly.
