findfirst( ) / findnext( ) functions in Linux

Forum

Just wondering, what are the equivalent functions for findfirst( ), findnext( ) and findclose( ) in Linux? I'm particularly intereted in functions that portable across Win32 and *nix systems.

correct me if i'm wrong, but they are just included in the standard c library that comes with linux, so the equivalent functions are the same. just #include .

Looking at the MSVC documentation it says that the findfirst / findnext / findclose functions are win32 only. I'm sure that there are *nix compatibles out there though, just have to find them...

Can't help you more than that because I'm not much of a *nix programmer.
