getdirentries − get directory entries in a filesystem independent format
#define
__USE_BSD or #define __USE_MISC
#include <dirent.h>
ssize_t getdirentries(int fd, char *buf, size_t nbytes , off_t *basep);
Read directory entries from the directory specified by fd into buf. At most nbytes are read. Reading starts at offset *basep, and *basep is updated with the new position after reading.
getdirentries returns the number of bytes read or zero when at the end of the directory. If an error occurs, −1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.
See the Linux library source code for details.
