Code snippet:

(*filelist) = temp;
printf("DEBUG: filename:%s,...

(*filelist[items]) = malloc(strlen(filename)+1); :)

What's the advantage of using malloc instead of calloc then?

Yes, this actually worked out nicely, thank you! :)

I made a printf("DEBUG: realloc:%dBytes\n",(items+1) * sizeof(*temp)); right after the realloc and it prints: DEBUG: realloc:4Bytes which sounds pretty good to me, no?

Huh but I pass the function...

Well, I have declared char **list=NULL; in my caller function and i do a
temp = realloc(filelist, (items+1) * sizeof(*temp));
if (temp == NULL) {
while (--items >= 0)

Hello There,

I wrote a function that reads out all the files in a certain directory and it's writing them into an array of character arrays that was passed. The function looks like this:
