Описание (Description)
nftw() walks through the directory tree that is located under the
directory dirpath, and calls fn() once for each entry in the
tree. By default, directories are handled before the files and
subdirectories they contain (preorder traversal).
To avoid using up all of the calling process's file descriptors,
nopenfd specifies the maximum number of directories that nftw()
will hold open simultaneously. When the search depth exceeds
this, nftw() will become slower because directories have to be
closed and reopened. nftw() uses at most one file descriptor for
each level in the directory tree.
For each entry found in the tree, nftw() calls fn() with four
arguments: fpath, sb, typeflag, and ftwbuf. fpath is the
pathname of the entry, and is expressed either as a pathname
relative to the calling process's current working directory at
the time of the call to nftw(), if dirpath was expressed as a
relative pathname, or as an absolute pathname, if dirpath was
expressed as an absolute pathname. sb is a pointer to the stat
structure returned by a call to stat(2) for fpath.
The typeflag argument passed to fn() is an integer that has one
of the following values:
FTW_F fpath is a regular file.
FTW_D fpath is a directory.
FTW_DNR
fpath is a directory which can't be read.
FTW_DP fpath is a directory, and FTW_DEPTH was specified in
flags. (If FTW_DEPTH was not specified in flags, then
directories will always be visited with typeflag set to
FTW_D.) All of the files and subdirectories within fpath
have been processed.
FTW_NS The stat(2) call failed on fpath, which is not a symbolic
link. The probable cause for this is that the caller had
read permission on the parent directory, so that the
filename fpath could be seen, but did not have execute
permission, so that the file could not be reached for
stat(2). The contents of the buffer pointed to by sb are
undefined.
FTW_SL fpath is a symbolic link, and FTW_PHYS was set in flags.
FTW_SLN
fpath is a symbolic link pointing to a nonexistent file.
(This occurs only if FTW_PHYS is not set.) In this case
the sb argument passed to fn() contains information
returned by performing lstat(2) on the "dangling" symbolic
link. (But see BUGS.)
The fourth argument (ftwbuf) that nftw() supplies when calling
fn() is a pointer to a structure of type FTW:
struct FTW {
int base;
int level;
};
base is the offset of the filename (i.e., basename component) in
the pathname given in fpath. level is the depth of fpath in the
directory tree, relative to the root of the tree (dirpath, which
has depth 0).
To stop the tree walk, fn() returns a nonzero value; this value
will become the return value of nftw(). As long as fn() returns
0, nftw() will continue either until it has traversed the entire
tree, in which case it will return zero, or until it encounters
an error (such as a malloc(3) failure), in which case it will
return -1.
Because nftw() uses dynamic data structures, the only safe way to
exit out of a tree walk is to return a nonzero value from fn().
To allow a signal to terminate the walk without causing a memory
leak, have the handler set a global flag that is checked by fn().
Don't use longjmp(3) unless the program is going to terminate.
The flags argument of nftw() is formed by ORing zero or more of
the following flags:
FTW_ACTIONRETVAL (since glibc 2.3.3)
If this glibc-specific flag is set, then nftw() handles
the return value from fn() differently. fn() should
return one of the following values:
FTW_CONTINUE
Instructs nftw() to continue normally.
FTW_SKIP_SIBLINGS
If fn() returns this value, then siblings of the
current entry will be skipped, and processing
continues in the parent.
FTW_SKIP_SUBTREE
If fn() is called with an entry that is a directory
(typeflag is FTW_D), this return value will prevent
objects within that directory from being passed as
arguments to fn(). nftw() continues processing
with the next sibling of the directory.
FTW_STOP
Causes nftw() to return immediately with the return
value FTW_STOP.
Other return values could be associated with new actions
in the future; fn() should not return values other than
those listed above.
The feature test macro _GNU_SOURCE must be defined (before
including any header files) in order to obtain the
definition of FTW_ACTIONRETVAL from <ftw.h>.
FTW_CHDIR
If set, do a chdir(2) to each directory before handling
its contents. This is useful if the program needs to
perform some action in the directory in which fpath
resides. (Specifying this flag has no effect on the
pathname that is passed in the fpath argument of fn.)
FTW_DEPTH
If set, do a post-order traversal, that is, call fn() for
the directory itself after handling the contents of the
directory and its subdirectories. (By default, each
directory is handled before its contents.)
FTW_MOUNT
If set, stay within the same filesystem (i.e., do not
cross mount points).
FTW_PHYS
If set, do not follow symbolic links. (This is what you
want.) If not set, symbolic links are followed, but no
file is reported twice.
If FTW_PHYS is not set, but FTW_DEPTH is set, then the
function fn() is never called for a directory that would
be a descendant of itself.
ftw()
ftw() is an older function that offers a subset of the
functionality of nftw(). The notable differences are as follows:
* ftw() has no flags argument. It behaves the same as when
nftw() is called with flags specified as zero.
* The callback function, fn(), is not supplied with a fourth
argument.
* The range of values that is passed via the typeflag argument
supplied to fn() is smaller: just FTW_F, FTW_D, FTW_DNR,
FTW_NS, and (possibly) FTW_SL.
Возвращаемое значение (Return value)
These functions return 0 on success, and -1 if an error occurs.
If fn() returns nonzero, then the tree walk is terminated and the
value returned by fn() is returned as the result of ftw() or
nftw().
If nftw() is called with the FTW_ACTIONRETVAL flag, then the only
nonzero value that should be used by fn() to terminate the tree
walk is FTW_STOP, and that value is returned as the result of
nftw().
Версии (Versions)
nftw() is available under glibc since version 2.1.

Стандарты (Conforming to)
POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008, SVr4, SUSv1. POSIX.1-2008 marks
ftw() as obsolete.
Примечание (Note)
POSIX.1-2008 notes that the results are unspecified if fn does
not preserve the current working directory.
The function nftw() and the use of FTW_SL with ftw() were
introduced in SUSv1.
In some implementations (e.g., glibc), ftw() will never use
FTW_SL, on other systems FTW_SL occurs only for symbolic links
that do not point to an existing file, and again on other systems
ftw() will use FTW_SL for each symbolic link. If fpath is a
symbolic link and stat(2) failed, POSIX.1-2008 states that it is
undefined whether FTW_NS or FTW_SL is passed in typeflag. For
predictable results, use nftw().
Ошибки (баги) (Bugs)
According to POSIX.1-2008, when the typeflag argument passed to
fn() contains FTW_SLN, the buffer pointed to by sb should contain
information about the dangling symbolic link (obtained by calling
lstat(2) on the link). Early glibc versions correctly followed
the POSIX specification on this point. However, as a result of a
regression introduced in glibc 2.4, the contents of the buffer
pointed to by sb were undefined when FTW_SLN is passed in
typeflag. (More precisely, the contents of the buffer were left
unchanged in this case.) This regression was eventually fixed in
glibc 2.30, so that the glibc implementation (once more) follows
the POSIX specification.
Примеры (Examples)
The following program traverses the directory tree under the path
named in its first command-line argument, or under the current
directory if no argument is supplied. It displays various
information about each file. The second command-line argument
can be used to specify characters that control the value assigned
to the flags argument when calling nftw().
