recursive directory listing help

i am trying to design and write a C program that carries out a recursive directory listing, functionally similar to the Unix "ls -lR". This C program will use at least the following system calls, opendir, chdir, readdir, and stat.

A fairly crude version of doing this would be

Code:

---

        file recls in your home directory contains:
                for I in * do
                        print $I
                        if test -d $I
                                cd $I
                                sh $HOME/recls
                                cd ..
                        fi
                done

---

but i am looking to do this in a more complex way, any help would be greatly recieved

thanks

Can we assume by context that you want to do this on a Linux / Unix machine?

How about

Or maybe using the ftw() function.

Yeah on a unix machine, ill look at that see if i can make any sense of it thank you, im a newbie but thanks for the help
