ntfw (new file tree walk) question

[ben.lemasurier]

Hey everyone,

I am making use of ntfw() in a program of mind to find a file on the
hard drive. Currently my application only prints the name of the file
if it finds it. I would like it to show the path to the file as well.
Is there a way to have ntfw() report the current directory it is in?

I hope I am being clear, if not please let me know and I can try to
clairify.

Thanks!

Ben

Standard C has no facilities for dealing with directories. ntfw()
appears to be some non-standard function; personally, I had never
heard of it until now. You'll need to post in a newsgroup specific to
your system.

....

(A little Googling shows that the function is called nftw(), not
ntfw(). comp.unix.programmer is probably the best place to ask about
it.)

We must do something. This is something. Therefore, we must do this.

We don't know what ntfw() is.

Does this help?

Not really. Since ntfw is not a part of standard C, it is off-topic here.

See http://www.stanford.edu/~blp/writing...off-topic.html

There are no such facilities. You'll need to use platform dependent
libraries/facilities.

C has no concept of file searching or even directories. A good newsgroup
to discuss the POSIX facilities for these is comp.unix.programmer.
