I would like to get the source to the standard library function ftw(3),
which recursively descends a directory hierarchy, passing the name of
each file encountered to a user-supplied function.
Does anyone know whether this source (or any equivalent) is in the
public domain, and if so, where it can be found?
Thanks!
Kevin

Take a look in alt.sources. I've just posted a version there that I received when I asked the same question about a year ago... -Jeff -- Jeff Beadles jeff@onion.pdx.com

Look up K&R (first ed.) Section 8.6 on page 169 - 173: ("Example -- Listing Directories") contains source code for a program that recursively traverses the directory hierarchy. It tells you all you need to know to write your own ftw(3). -- Disclaimer: The opinions expressed herein are not necessarily those of my employer, not necessarily mine, and probably not necessary. - gisle hannemyr (Norwegian Computing Center) EAN: C=no;PRMD=uninett;O=nr;S=Hannemyr;G=Gisle (X.400 SA format) gisle.hannemyr@nr.no (RFC-822 format) Inet: gisle@ifi.uio.no UUCP: ...!mcsun!ifi!gisle ------------------------------------------------
