states that the directory structure doesn't have d_type (why? All my
borland compiler dos stuff did or had something like it)

www.delorie.com/djgpp/doc/libc-2.02/libc_554.html
states that dirent structure has
mode_t d_type;
april 2004

why did someone backrev something perfectly useful?


I need the d_type.

please put it back in dirent.h and associated files please. (libc.a)
and let me know what zip file to download.

I am writing a du program.  I can't do directory walking without
directory detection.  my only workaround is stat, and I hear it's
slow.
thanks in advance.
