Re: _dos_findfirst and _dos_findnext analog on AS/400

Boy, it's been a while since I've used those handy functions on DOS :)
I don't know of direct equivalent on System i, but being that list is kind
of quiet today...
Closest fit is probably opendir(), readdir(), closedir().  You might also
need to use stat() or fstat() to get additional information on the files.
You can probably code up wrapper functions that would fully imitate DOS
functions, but I wouldn't do it unless you're porting an existing
application.

There is a simple example at the bottom of this link:

Subject: [C400-L] _dos_findfirst and _dos_findnext analog on AS/400

I remember, there was a fine set of C functions on PC:
_dos_findfirst and _dos_findnext. Names slightly differ from compiler to
compiler.

With their help it was very easy to process set of files with names,
matching certain criteria.

Is there anything similar in ILE/C to process files, that reside in IFS
(QIBM)?

Stupid ideas come to mind, like sending directory listing to file....

Any advise will be highly appreciated,
