+
+
NAME
+
       scandir, alphasort - scan a directory for matching entries
+
+
SYNOPSIS
+
       #include <dirent.h>
+
+       int scandir(const char *dir, struct dirent ***namelist,
+              int (*select)(const struct dirent *),
+              int (*compar)(const void *, const void *));
+
+       int alphasort(const struct dirent *a, const struct dirent *b);
+
+
DESCRIPTION
+
       The scandir() function scans the  directory  dir,  calling
+       select()  on  each  directory  entry.   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.
+
+
RETURN VALUE
+
       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.
+
+
ERRORS
+
       ENOMEM Insufficient memory to complete the operation.
