[Off Topic] C language Question

From: Chuck Carson (chuck@DIGMO.ORG)

I have a question regarding file system I/O. I am wanting to open different
directories from within a C program and eventually open these files for
writing. Is there a precoded function to open a directory and return its
contents? I am currently using a 'jerry-rig' approach.

system("ls -al > somefile.dat")

fopen(blah......)

Is this the only method of doing this?
btw: I am writing this code on an IRIX machine. (6.2)
Thanks,
