Here is a minimalist example:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <dirent.h>

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
   struct dirent *ent;
   DIR *dir;

   if (argc == 2) {
       if ((dir = opendir(argv[1]))) {
           while((ent = readdir(dir)) != NULL)
               puts(ent->d_name);
       } else
           fprintf(stderr, "Error opening directory %s\n", argv[1]);
   }

   return 0;
}
