PROLOG

       This  manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the correspond-
       ing Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

       closedir - close a directory stream

SYNOPSIS

       #include <dirent.h>

       int closedir(DIR *dirp);

DESCRIPTION

       The closedir() function shall close the directory stream referred to by the argument dirp. Upon return, the value of  dirp  may	no  longer
       point to an accessible object of the type DIR. If a file descriptor is used to implement type DIR, that file descriptor shall be closed.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion, closedir() shall return 0; otherwise, -1 shall be returned and errno set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       The closedir() function may fail if:

       EBADF  The dirp argument does not refer to an open directory stream.

       EINTR  The closedir() function was interrupted by a signal.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

   Closing a Directory Stream
       The following program fragment demonstrates how the closedir() function is used.

	      ...
		  DIR *dir;
		  struct dirent *dp;
	      ...
		  if ((dir = opendir (".")) == NULL) {
	      ...
		  }

		  while ((dp = readdir (dir)) != NULL) {
	      ...
		  }

		  closedir(dir);
	      ...

APPLICATION USAGE

       None.

RATIONALE

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.

PROLOG

NAME

       rewinddir -- reset the position of a directory stream to the beginning of a directory

SYNOPSIS

       #include <dirent.h>

       void rewinddir(DIR *dirp);

DESCRIPTION

       The rewinddir() function shall reset the position of the directory stream to which dirp refers to the beginning of the directory. It  shall
       also  cause  the  directory stream to refer to the current state of the corresponding directory, as a call to opendir() would have done. If
       dirp does not refer to a directory stream, the effect is undefined.

       After a call to the fork() function, either the parent or child (but not both) may continue processing the  directory  stream  using  read-
       dir(), rewinddir(), or seekdir().  If both the parent and child processes use these functions, the result is undefined.

RETURN VALUE

       The rewinddir() function shall not return a value.

ERRORS

       No errors are defined.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE

       The  rewinddir() function should be used in conjunction with opendir(), readdir(), and closedir() to examine the contents of the directory.
       This method is recommended for portability.

RATIONALE

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.
