I'm not sure if this is POSIX or not ... and indeed if POSIX
is OT here or not, but if the subject made sense to you ....
I have a very simple program here, but it seems to be returning
a "true" value to the query S_ISDIR() even when the directory
entry is not a directory.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <dirent.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <errno.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
DIR *dir;
struct dirent *entry;
struct stat eStat;
char *root;
int i;
root = argv[1];
while((entry = readdir(dir)) != NULL) {
lstat(entry->d_name, &eStat);
if(S_ISDIR(eStat.st_mode))
printf("found directory %s\n", entry->d_name);
else
printf("not a dir\n");
}
return 0;
}
sample output:
found directory .
found directory ..
found directory NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO-html.tar.gz
found directory ncurses_programs
found directory ncurses.html
