NAME

       ftw.h, ftw - file tree traversal

SYNOPSIS

       #include <ftw.h>

DESCRIPTION

       The <ftw.h> header defines the FTW structure that includes the following members:

       int base
       int level

       The <ftw.h> header defines macros for use as values of  the third argument to the application-supplied function that is  passed as the sec-
       ond argument to ftw() and nftw() (see ftw(3C)):

       FTW_F           file

       FTW_D           directory

       FTW_DNR         directory without read permission

       FTW_DP          directory with subdirectories visited

       FTW_NS          unknown type; stat() failed

       FTW_SL          symbolic link

       FTW_SLN         symbolic link that names a nonexistent file

       The <ftw.h> header defines macros for use as values of the fourth argument to nftw():

       FTW_PHYS        Physical walk, does not follow symbolic links. Otherwise, nftw() follows links but does not walk down any path that crosses
                       itself.

       FTW_MOUNT       The walk does not cross a mount point.

       FTW_DEPTH       All subdirectories are visited before the directory itself.

       FTW_CHDIR       The walk changes to each direct ory before reading it.

       The  <ftw.h>  header  defines  the  stat  structure  and  the  symbolic  names  for  st_mode  and the file type test macros as described in
       <sys/stat.h>.

       Inclusion of the <ftw.h> header might also make visible all symbols from <sys/stat.h>.
