info libc alpha readdir

What do FileType and pos represent?

Untested code to copy stuff from a DIR to a FileList:

int
dir2filelist (FileList *filelist, const DIR *dir)
{
    /* NB: Assumes filelist needs initialisation. */
    memset(filelist, 0, sizeof(*filelist));
    filelist->FileName = malloc(dir->d_namelen + 1);
    strcpy(filelist->FileName, dir->d_name);
    ...
    return(filelist);
}

Regards,
