Subject:	Porting question: cygwin equivalent of Linux getdirentries()?
X-AntiVirus:	checked by Vexira MailArmor (version: 2.0.1.16; VAE: 6.27.0.12; VDF: 6.27.0.71; host: smtp3.tcd.ie)

I have a piece of Linux code I'm trying to port to cygwin which uses 
sgtty.h (ioctl) and dirent.h (getdirentries) functions which are not 
present in cygwin.  Also endian.h was missing but I copied it over from 
RedHat and that seems to work.  I got round the sgetty problems by using 
#ifdef __CYGWIN__ to patch in termios.h equivalents.  But on the 
dirent.h front the dirent struct in Cygwin is different from Linux in 
that it has a long where Linux has an unsigned short ... I patched it 
anyway and it compiles OK

#ifndef __CYGWIN__
 counter < READ_GPR(V0_REG) && direntp->d_reclen > 0;
 i++, counter += direntp->d_reclen, direntp=(struct dirent 
*)(buffer+counter)) {
#else
 counter < READ_GPR(V0_REG) && direntp->d_fd > 0;
 i++, counter += direntp->d_fd, direntp=(struct dirent 
*)(buffer+counter)) {
#endif

The only problem remaining is I cannot find a cygwin equivalent of 
getdirentries in Linux dirent.h and the program fails to link.  I have 
patched out the reference in the attached file and it compiles but will 
obviously not work.

Do any of you know what cygwin function I could use in place of 
getdirentries()?

I've tried googling for the past day and a half to no avail.

Many thanks,

- David
