If I am understanding what you are asking for, I think you need to
investigate opendir and readdir.

These are UNIX functions.  You can find them documented here:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/index.html

The alternative is to use Windows native functions like
FindFirstFile and FindNextFile.

They would be documented here:
