Small example using glob:
#include <glob.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
glob_t files;
int ret = 0;
int i = 0;
char *path;
if (argc > 1) {
path = argv[1];
} else {
path = strdup("/etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf");
}
ret = glob(path, GLOB_ERR, NULL, &files);
printf("All files matching %s:\n", path);
for (i = 0; i < files.gl_pathc; i++) {
printf("\t%s\n", files.gl_pathv[i]);
}
globfree(&files);
printf("Finished\n");
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
man 3 glob has more information.
If wanted, I can prepare a patch for rsyslog.
Cheers,
Michael
