Does readdir work on Mac OS X? I don't have a Mac handy right now to check, but it should work because so many *NIX programs build on OS X right out of the box.
More or less what you do is call opendir on a directory, then rewinddir to set your iterator to the beginning of the directory, then repeatedly call readdir to read each of the items in the directory. This is actually a portable and standardized interface to reading the directory inode. Note that there is both a readdir system call and a readdir library call. You want the library call. The system call is there for the private use of the library call, and isn't meant to make sense or be portable. If readdir does work on OS X, it will get you the filename as it is actually found in the filesystem - that is, with the case preserved. Look up "man 3 readdir" and friends.
