Well, your question is off-topic here. You should better ask it in a linux
programming newsgroup.
Having that said, the answer to your question depends on what you want to do
with the subdirectories. Do you just want to open them again? Then just try
opendir() on everything you get. If it's not a directory, you'll get
ENOTDIR back. If you don't want to open them, you can use stat() to test
whether an entry is a directory or not.
