Имя (Name)
ftw — traverse (walk) a file tree
Синопсис (Synopsis)
#include <ftw.h>
int ftw(const char *path, int (*fn)(const char *,
const struct stat *ptr, int flag), int ndirs);
Описание (Description)
The ftw() function shall recursively descend the directory
hierarchy rooted in path. For each object in the hierarchy,
ftw() shall call the function pointed to by fn, passing it a
pointer to a null-terminated character string containing the name
of the object, a pointer to a stat
structure containing
information about the object, filled in as if stat() or lstat()
had been called to retrieve the information. Possible values of
the integer, defined in the <ftw.h> header, are:
FTW_D For a directory.
FTW_DNR For a directory that cannot be read.
FTW_F For a non-directory file.
FTW_SL For a symbolic link (but see also FTW_NS below).
FTW_NS For an object other than a symbolic link on which
stat() could not successfully be executed. If the
object is a symbolic link and stat() failed, it is
unspecified whether ftw() passes FTW_SL or FTW_NS to
the user-supplied function.
If the integer is FTW_DNR, descendants of that directory shall
not be processed. If the integer is FTW_NS, the stat
structure
contains undefined values. An example of an object that would
cause FTW_NS to be passed to the function pointed to by fn would
be a file in a directory with read but without execute (search)
permission.
The ftw() function shall visit a directory before visiting any of
its descendants.
The ftw() function shall use at most one file descriptor for each
level in the tree.
The argument ndirs should be in the range [1,{OPEN_MAX}].
The tree traversal shall continue until either the tree is
exhausted, an invocation of fn returns a non-zero value, or some
error, other than [EACCES]
, is detected within ftw().
The ndirs argument shall specify the maximum number of directory
streams or file descriptors or both available for use by ftw()
while traversing the tree. When ftw() returns it shall close any
directory streams and file descriptors it uses not counting any
opened by the application-supplied fn function.
The results are unspecified if the application-supplied fn
function does not preserve the current working directory.
The ftw() function need not be thread-safe.
Возвращаемое значение (Return value)
If the tree is exhausted, ftw() shall return 0. If the function
pointed to by fn returns a non-zero value, ftw() shall stop its
tree traversal and return whatever value was returned by the
function pointed to by fn. If ftw() detects an error, it shall
return -1 and set errno to indicate the error.
If ftw() encounters an error other than [EACCES]
(see FTW_DNR and
FTW_NS above), it shall return -1 and set errno to indicate the
error. The external variable errno may contain any error value
that is possible when a directory is opened or when one of the
stat functions is executed on a directory or file.
Ошибки (Error)
The ftw() function shall fail if:
EACCES
Search permission is denied for any component of path or
read permission is denied for path.
ELOOP
A loop exists in symbolic links encountered during
resolution of the path argument.
ENAMETOOLONG
The length of a component of a pathname is longer than
{NAME_MAX}.
ENOENT
A component of path does not name an existing file or path
is an empty string.
ENOTDIR
A component of path names an existing file that is neither
a directory nor a symbolic link to a directory.
EOVERFLOW
A field in the stat
structure cannot be represented
correctly in the current programming environment for one
or more files found in the file hierarchy.
The ftw() function may fail if:
EINVAL
The value of the ndirs argument is invalid.
ELOOP
More than {SYMLOOP_MAX} symbolic links were encountered
during resolution of the path argument.
ENAMETOOLONG
The length of a pathname exceeds {PATH_MAX}, or pathname
resolution of a symbolic link produced an intermediate
result with a length that exceeds {PATH_MAX}.
In addition, if the function pointed to by fn encounters system
errors, errno may be set accordingly.
The following sections are informative.
Примеры (Examples)
Walking a Directory Structure
The following example walks the current directory structure,
calling the fn function for every directory entry, using at most
10 file descriptors:
#include <ftw.h>
...
if (ftw(".", fn, 10) != 0) {
perror("ftw"); exit(2);
}
Использование в приложениях (Application usage)
The ftw() function may allocate dynamic storage during its
operation. If ftw() is forcibly terminated, such as by longjmp()
or siglongjmp() being executed by the function pointed to by fn
or an interrupt routine, ftw() does not have a chance to free
that storage, so it remains permanently allocated. A safe way to
handle interrupts is to store the fact that an interrupt has
occurred, and arrange to have the function pointed to by fn
return a non-zero value at its next invocation.
Applications should use the nftw() function instead of the
obsolescent ftw() function.
Обоснование (Rationale)
None.
Будущие направления (Future directions)
The ftw() function may be removed in a future version.
