Enumerating Files from the filesystem

[Milleniumlegend]

Could someone please let me know how to enumerate files under a directory in a filesystem. I would like to get a list of files from the filesystem under a particular directory recursively. I would need to make the search as fast as possible.

Many Thanks

Open a directory with opendir(), then continue reading files using readdir() until it returns NULL. If you want to get the sub-directories also, call stat() on the filename to determine if it's a file or directory; then if it's a directory call your directory enumeration function again with the sub-directory appended to the original name... Don't forget to call closedir() for each call you make to opendir() when you're finished.
