readdir() is a posix (linux/unix) function. It doesn't exist in Windows. There is, instead, FindFirstFile, FindNextFile and FindClose.

Here's the help on FindFirstFile, the rest are documented in links from this page:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...18(VS.85).aspx

You can also have a look in the FAQ, which has code that reads a directory in Windows (as well as Posix type systems).

Windows is more screwed up than you'd think, half-ass POSIX compliant (that's an oxymoron!). Then they decided to ditch it, then not, then, then not, then, then not...

It did exist, however it seems to have been erased -- they seem to try and abstract themselves as far away from unix as possible.
