how do i get the contents of a directory using c program.. i just need to get the names of the files and dir.. something like ls command but i dont wanna know all the stuff like its date of creation and stuff.. just wanna know what files are present and which of them are dir.. thanx in advance Slow and steady wins the race.

Directory contents : opendir(), closedir(), readdir(), rewinddir(), telldir(), seekdir(), scandir()
File properties : fstat()

Depends on what you want to do, but glob() can be really useful sometimes
