Hi there, 2008/8/19 John Scipione <jscipione@xxxxxxxxx>: > I don't know if either of these functions behave as they are intended. As for the behavior, you can take a look at what the POSIX standard says about it. In this case, check out the following links http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/telldir.html http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/seekdir.html > In the telldir() function `dir->first_entry.d_reclen + > dir->next_entry` is suppose to get the current position in the dir. > This is a guess. Also, it seems that the current position in the dir > should be stored in the struct itself so that it doesn't have to be > calculated everytime. Perhaps readdir() could set a variable in the > struct each time it increments the position. > > Any help would be much appreciated. In doubts, you can always "get inspired" ;-) by others implementation, like openbsd or opensolaris http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/lib/libbc/libc/gen/common/telldir.c#36 http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/lib/libbc/libc/gen/common/seekdir.c#37 http://www.koders.com/c/fid8932A4B7C9E86627A6E15FE6C255DDDE8AE24034.aspx?s=telldir.c#L1 > > Thanks, > John Scipione > > Hope this helps.
