The c68 libraries contain a number of routines for reading directories.
Using these would probably be easiest as they hide the knowledge of what
file type a directory is (normally 255 but not on all systems!) and having
to be aware of file system header formats.
There are basically two families of routines:
- One set is the Unix compatible routines (opendir, readir, etc).
- The other set are some QDOS/SMSQ specific routines (e.g. qdir_read).
I will see if I can dig out a simple example code fragment from one of the
utility programs.
