READDIR(2) Linux Programmer’s Manual READDIR(2)
NAME
readdir - read directory entry
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
#include <linux/dirent.h>
#include <linux/unistd.h>
_syscall3(int, readdir, uint, fd, struct dirent *, dirp, uint, count);
int readdir(unsigned int fd, struct dirent *dirp, unsigned int count);
DESCRIPTION
This is not the function you are interested in. Look at readdir(3) for the POSIX
conforming C library interface. This page documents the bare kernel system call
interface, which can change, and which is superseded by getdents(2).
readdir reads one dirent structure from the directory pointed at by fd into the
memory area pointed to by dirp. The parameter count is ignored; at most one dirent
structure is read.
The dirent structure is declared as follows:
struct dirent
{
long d_ino; /* inode number */
off_t d_off; /* offset to this dirent */
unsigned short d_reclen; /* length of this d_name */
char d_name [NAME_MAX+1]; /* file name (null-terminated) */
}
d_ino is an inode number. d_off is the distance from the start of the directory to
this dirent. d_reclen is the size of d_name, not counting the null terminator.
d_name is a null-terminated file name.
RETURN VALUE
On success, 1 is returned. On end of directory, 0 is returned. On error, -1 is
returned, and errno is set appropriately.
ERRORS
EBADF Invalid file descriptor fd.
EFAULT Argument points outside the calling process’s address space.
EINVAL Result buffer is too small.
ENOENT No such directory.
ENOTDIR
File descriptor does not refer to a directory.
CONFORMING TO
This system call is Linux specific.
