Hello,
I'm very new to programming so I have a harder time debugging than most.
I have conflicting types of a function here, which is why this code
won't compile, yet I don't know as to whether or not this is the legal
way to do it. Here's the code: BTW, it came straight from a book.
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <dirent.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
printf("Directory scan of /home/omicron722:\n");
printdir("/home/omicron722",0);
printf("done.\n");
exit(0);
}
void printdir(char *dir, int depth)
{
DIR *dp;
struct dirent *entry;
struct stat statbuf;
if((dp = opendir(dir)) == NULL) {
fprintf(stderr, "cannot oepn directory: %s\n", dir);
return;
}
chdir(dir);
while((entry = readdir(dp)) != NULL) {
lstat (entry->d_name,&statbuf);
if(S_ISDIR(statbuf.st_mode)) {
/* found a directory, but ignore . and .. */
if(strcmp(".",entry->d_name) == 0 ||
strcmp("..",entry->d_name) == 0)
continue;
printf("%*s%s/\n",depth,"",entry->d_name);
/* Recurse at new indent level */
printdir(entry->d_name,depth+4);
}
else printf("%*s%s\n",depth,"",entry->d_name);
}
chdir("..");
closedir(dp);
}
This is supposed to just list my home directory contents. Any help
much appreciated.
