Does anybody know how to read contents of a directory into a c program?

eg: fopen( directory_name, "r"); ???

Have a look at stat(2) and readdir(3).

#include <dirent.h>
DIR *dp;
struct dirent *dirp;
dp=opendir("dirname");
while((dirp=readdir(dp))!=NULL)
printf("%s\n",dirp->d_name);
Bugs not fixed

>>what bug?

The program gave only concept.
It doesn't check the existence of ``dirname'' i.e.
if ((dp=opendir("dirname"))==NULL) {
/* do some stuff */
exit(1);
}
