Entries for which + select() returns non-zero are stored in strings allocated + via malloc(), sorted using qsort() with the comparison + function compar(), and collected in array namelist which + is allocated via malloc(). + + The alphasort() function can be used as the comparison + function for the scandir() function to sort the directory + entries into alphabetical order. Its parameters are the + two directory entries, a and b, to compare. + +<h3>RETURN VALUE +</h3> The scandir() function returns the number of directory + entries selected or -1 if an error occurs. + + The alphasort() function returns an integer less than, + equal to, or greater than zero if the first argument is + considered to be respectively less than, equal to, or + greater than the second. + +<h3>ERRORS +</h3> ENOMEM Insufficient memory to complete the operation. + +<h3>CONFORMING TO +</h3> BSD 4.3 + +</pre> +<hr> +<h3>SEE ALSO +</h3><p> +<a href=opendir.htm>opendir</a>, +<a href=readdir.htm>readdir</a>, +<a href=closedir.htm>closedir</a>, +<a href=rewinddir.htm>rewinddir</a>, +<a href=telldir.htm>telldir</a>, +<a href=seekdir.htm>seekdir</a>, +<pre> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<h3>GNU March 31, 1993 1 +</h3> + +
