Portable Filesystem Library

[Janina Kramer]

Hi!

I'm working on a project that has to be portable (Windows, Linux, Unix (IDE
is VisualC++) ). What I need is the list of files in a certain directory
(+subdirs), but I also need to know some file attributes like size and 'date
of last change'.
Anybody knows a lib that can do this for me?

Thanks in advance

There was a beta library on Boost ( http://www.boost.org ) . I dunno its
state. If all else fails you might be able to use POSIX (and limit a loads
of things :-( ).

I've used the boost filesystem library on both Windows and Linux in
applications, and it seems to work nicely.

I checked out boost.org myself too, and it says there that it only supports
POSIX or Windows-like OSes.
So, I am not really sure if this includes Linux and UNIX?
If you are using it already meanwhile, you may better stick to it.

If not, you can try my 'directory-scan' classes which work for sure on
Windows, Solaris and AIX.
It was developped with JBuilder but does not use much JBuilder-specific
stuff, so it should not be too complicated to convert it for Visual C++.

POSIX is an interface standard for UNIX-like operating systems.
LINUX and UNIX should not have a problem with it.
