Linux Programmer's Manual
Look at readdir(3) for the POSIX conforming C library interface. This page documents the bare kernel system call interface, which can change, and which is superseded by getdents(2) . readdir reads one dirent structure from the directory pointed at by fd into the memory area pointed to by dirp . The parameter count is ignored; at most one dirent structure is read. The dirent structure is declared as follows:
struct dirent
{
long d_ino; /* inode number */
off_t d_off; /* offset to this dirent */
unsigned short d_reclen; /* length of this d_name */
char d_name [NAME_MAX+1]; /* file name (null-terminated) */
}
d_ino is an inode number. d_off is the distance from the start of the directory to this dirent . d_reclen is the size of d_name, not counting the null terminator. d_name is a null-terminated file name.
