Re: opendir()






The stat() API will give you most of the details of an IFS object, and 
is easy to use.

You can get more comprehensive information about an IFS object with the 
Qp0lGetAttr() API.  There are a few thigns, such as the "create date" 
that aren't available with stat(), but are available with Qp0lGetAttr().

I have an example of Qp0lGetAttr here (but it does require a ProVIP 
membership to System iNetwork... ugh)
