What is the header for following variables?

Dear All,
I want list all the files in directory...following program i have copied from FAQ i am getting following errors..

error-. fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'dirent.h': No such file or directory

Code:

---

#include <DIRECT.H>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <dirent.h>

int main(void)
{
  DIR          *d;
  struct dirent *dir;
  d = opendir(".");
  if (d)
  {
    while ((dir = readdir(d)) != NULL)
    {
      printf("%s\n", dir->d_name);
    }

    closedir(d);
  }

  return(0);
}

i am using VC++ compiler and windows2000 operating system..

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.
