Recursive Directory Traversal difficulties

none

in case it's being wondered,

this if the structure of f_info

Code:

---

struct f_info {
  int f_blks[4]; 
  int f_scn;
  int f_frg[64];
};

Hey.

Code:

---

char *dir_path;
...
dir_path = strcat(dir,"/");
dir_path = strcat(dir_path,dp->d_name);

You've declared a pointer to an array that current has no space allocated. You're trying to write to space you haven't allocated in the above code.

You could use malloc() to initially allocate space, and realloc to reallocate space (to make it bigger). You'd need to free() the space you allocate eventually.

I haven't been having any troubles with dir_path, it seems to be not worrying about allocated space. The biggest issue is that if the filesystem looks like

(root directory)
file1.c
file2.txt
directory
--dfile1.h
--subdirectory
----sdfile1.html
----sdfile2.doc
--dfile2.php
file3.mp3

The traversal will look like:

read file1.c
read file2.txt
open directory
read dfile1.h
attempt to open subdirectory
Error: No such file or directory
