C Program to list all files and sub-directories in a directory
Here, we are given a directory. Our task is to create a C program to list all files and sub-directories in a directory.
The directory is a place/area/location where a set of the file(s) will be stored.
Subdirectory is a directory inside the root directory, in turn, it can have another sub-directory in it.
In C programming language you can list all files and sub-directories of a directory easily. The below program will illustrate how to list all files and sub-directories in a directory.
//C program to list all files and sub-directories in a directory
Example
#include <stdio.h>
#include <dirent.h>
int main(void){
struct dirent *files;
DIR *dir = opendir(".");
if (dir == NULL){
printf("Directory cannot be opened!" );
return 0;
}
while ((files = readdir(dir)) != NULL)
printf("%s
", files->d_name);
closedir(dir);
return 0;
}Output
cprograms .. prog1.c prog2.c prog3.c ... prog41.c This will return all files and sub-directory of the current directory.
