27 .SH DESCRIPTION
28 .sp
29 .LP
30 The \fBscandir()\fR function reads the directory \fIdirname\fR using
31 \fBreaddir\fR(3C) and builds an array of pointers to directory entries using
32 \fBmalloc\fR(3C). The \fInamelist\fR argument is a pointer to an array of
33 structure pointers. The \fIselect\fR argument is a pointer to a routine that is
34 called with a pointer to a directory entry and returns a non-zero value if the
35 directory entry is included in the array. If this pointer is \fINULL\fR, then
36 all the directory entries are included. The \fIdcomp\fR argument is a pointer
37 to a routine that is passed to \fBqsort\fR(3C), which sorts the completed
38 array. If this pointer is \fINULL\fR, the array is not sorted.
39 .sp
40 .LP
41 The \fBalphasort()\fR function can be used as the \fIdcomp\fR() function
42 parameter for the \fBscandir()\fR function to sort the directory entries into
43 alphabetical order, as if by the \fBstrcoll\fR(3C) function. Its arguments are
44 the two directory entries to compare.
45 .SH RETURN VALUES
46 .sp
47 .LP
48 The \fBscandir()\fR function returns the number of entries in the array and a
49 pointer to the array through the \fInamelist\fR argument. When an error is
50 encountered, \fBscandir()\fR returns -1 and \fBerrno\fR is set to indicate the
51 error.
52 .sp
53 .LP
54 The \fBalphasort()\fR function returns an integer greater than, equal to, or
55 less than 0 if the directory entry name pointed to by \fId1\fR is greater than,
56 equal to, or less than the directory entry name pointed to by \fId2\fR when
57 both are interpreted as appropriate to the current locale. There is no return
58 value reserved to indicate an error.
59 .SH ERRORS
60 .sp
61 .LP
62 The \fBscandir()\fR function will fail if:
63 .sp
64 .ne 2
65 .na
66 \fB\fBEOVERFLOW\fR\fR

69 The number of directory entries exceeds the number that can be represented by
70 an \fBint\fR.

27 .Sh DESCRIPTION
28 The
29 .Fn scandir
30 function reads the directory
31 .Fa dirname
32 using
33 .Xr readdir 3C
34 and builds an array of pointers to directory entries using
35 .Xr malloc 3C .
36 The
37 .Fa namelist
38 argument is a pointer to an array of
39 structure pointers. The
40 .Fa select
41 argument is a pointer to a routine that is
42 called with a pointer to a directory entry and returns a non-zero value if the
43 directory entry is included in the array. If this pointer is
44 .Dv NULL ,
45 then
46 all the directory entries are included. The
47 .Fa dcomp
48 argument is a pointer
49 to a routine that is passed to
50 .Xr qsort 3C ,
51 which sorts the completed array. If this pointer is
52 .Dv NULL ,
53 the array is not sorted.
54 .Lp
55 The
56 .Fn alphasort
57 function can be used as the
58 .Fn dcomp
59 function parameter for the
60 .Fn scandir
61 function to sort the directory entries into
62 alphabetical order, as if by the
63 .Xr strcoll 3C
64 function. Its arguments are
65 the two directory entries to compare.
66 .Sh RETURN VALUES
67 The
68 .Fn scandir
69 function returns the number of entries in the array and a
70 pointer to the array through the
71 .Fa namelist
72 argument. When an error is
73 encountered,
74 .Fn scandir
75 returns -1 and
76 .Va errno
77 is set to indicate the error.
78 .Lp
79 The
80 .Fn alphasort
81 function returns an integer greater than, equal to, or
82 less than 0 if the directory entry name pointed to by
83 .Fa d1
84 is greater than, equal to, or less than the directory entry name pointed to by
85 .Fa d2
86 when
87 both are interpreted as appropriate to the current locale. There is no return
88 value reserved to indicate an error.
89 .Sh ERRORS
90 The
91 .Fn scandir
92 function will fail if:
93 .Bl -tag -width Er
94 .It Er EOVERFLOW
