- Subject: How to decide the file type in Cygwin?
I need to list all files in a folder (including sub-folder,
recursively), and I tried some sample codes in GNU C manual, as
follows:
/***********************/
#include <stddef.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <dirent.h>
int
main (void)
{
DIR *dp;
struct dirent *ep;
dp = opendir ("./");
if (dp != NULL)
{
while (ep = readdir (dp))
puts (ep->d_name);
(void) closedir (dp);
}
else
puts ("Couldn't open the directory.");
return 0;
}
/***********************/
The sample was working. Then I added some codes to check the
ep->d_type (the type of the file). If it was a directory, the
program would check the sub-folder recursively. However, I
encountered a compiler error. The property d_type was not defined
in the Cygwin header file dirent.h. It seems that we cannot
distinguish the files from the directories. Is that true? Doesn't
anybody have a good idea to do this?
Thank you very much in adavance!
