   readdir_r    ( 3 )

читать каталог (read a directory)

Имя (Name)

readdir_r - read a directory


Синопсис (Synopsis)

#include <dirent.h>

int readdir_r(DIR *restrict dirp, struct dirent *restrict entry, struct dirent **restrict result);

Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

readdir_r(): _POSIX_C_SOURCE || /* Glibc <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE


Описание (Description)

This function is deprecated; use readdir(3) instead.

The readdir_r() function was invented as a reentrant version of readdir(3). It reads the next directory entry from the directory stream dirp, and returns it in the caller-allocated buffer pointed to by entry. For details of the dirent structure, see readdir(3).

A pointer to the returned buffer is placed in *result; if the end of the directory stream was encountered, then NULL is instead returned in *result.

It is recommended that applications use readdir(3) instead of readdir_r(). Furthermore, since version 2.24, glibc deprecates readdir_r(). The reasons are as follows:

* On systems where NAME_MAX is undefined, calling readdir_r() may be unsafe because the interface does not allow the caller to specify the length of the buffer used for the returned directory entry.

* On some systems, readdir_r() can't read directory entries with very long names. When the glibc implementation encounters such a name, readdir_r() fails with the error ENAMETOOLONG after the final directory entry has been read. On some other systems, readdir_r() may return a success status, but the returned d_name field may not be null terminated or may be truncated.

* In the current POSIX.1 specification (POSIX.1-2008), readdir(3) is not required to be thread-safe. However, in modern implementations (including the glibc implementation), concurrent calls to readdir(3) that specify different directory streams are thread-safe. Therefore, the use of readdir_r() is generally unnecessary in multithreaded programs. In cases where multiple threads must read from the same directory stream, using readdir(3) with external synchronization is still preferable to the use of readdir_r(), for the reasons given in the points above.

* It is expected that a future version of POSIX.1 will make readdir_r() obsolete, and require that readdir(3) be thread- safe when concurrently employed on different directory streams.


Возвращаемое значение (Return value)

The readdir_r() function returns 0 on success. On error, it returns a positive error number (listed under ERRORS). If the end of the directory stream is reached, readdir_r() returns 0, and returns NULL in *result.


Ошибки (Error)

EBADF Invalid directory stream descriptor dirp.

ENAMETOOLONG A directory entry whose name was too long to be read was encountered.
