Message: [QUOTE="Dan Pop, post: 1672735"] Are you reading impaired or what? The obvious: people need to do that in otherwise portable code and currently they cannot. With my proposal above, it becomes possible, without sacrificing the code portability. All the detail is, in shematic form, presented at the beginning of my previous post (and still visible in this post). It's downright idiotic to summarise it as "readdir is The Answer". There is no point in giving concrete function and macro names *before* the idea is accepted. You have completely failed to produce a valid criticism of my proposal or to point out why it would cause implementation difficulties on systems where implementing it would make any sense in the first place. It would be a waste of time, as long as the committee insists that a *minimal* file system interface (as described above) does not belong to the standard. Dan [/QUOTE]
