accessing directories using C++

[Casanova http://www.prashanthmohan.tk]

Hello

How can i access the directory structure in C++? (I used to use the DIR
structure in C earlier). is there a specialised way to access
directories in C++?

What my requirement is that i want to list the contents of a directory
similar to the ls command in linux. Please tell me how to go abt doing
this.

Thank you in advance

There is no standard library module for interfacing with directory
structures, but there are plenty of good libraries for it. Check out
boost::filesystem, in particular the simple_ls program:

Which is not part of the C standard.

You will have to use system-specific facilities for this.

Check some API documentation on the OS you are going to use.
