I was unaware of these functions and will definitely take a look at those manpages, thank you so much
Edit:
Oh, I apologize but there seems to be some confusion. What this does is it checks /bin and /sbin to see if the program(s) given are found. So say I run
it will look in /bin and /sbin to see if echo is found. If found it will say "found" otherwise it will say "not found". Now my current code has an issue that I can't find a solution for
stat is checking the current working directory and not /bin, how do I have it look at /bin?
I am also trying with strcmp() and I can't seem to get that working either:

All of my machines (various open source derivatives on x86 and amd64) store argv above the stack (at a higher memory address). I am curious to learn if any systems store argv below the stack (at a lower memory address).

DIRECTORY(3) Library Functions Manual DIRECTORY(3)NAME
opendir, readdir, telldir, seekdir, rewinddir, closedir - directory operations
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/dir.h>
DIR *opendir(filename)
char *filename;
struct direct *readdir(dirp)
DIR *dirp;
long telldir(dirp)
DIR *dirp;
seekdir(dirp, loc)
DIR *dirp;
long loc;
rewinddir(dirp)
DIR *dirp;
closedir(dirp)
DIR *dirp;
DESCRIPTION
Opendir opens the directory named by filename and associates a directory stream with it. Opendir returns a pointer to be used to identify
the directory stream in subsequent operations. The pointer NULL is returned if filename cannot be accessed, or if it cannot malloc(3)
enough memory to hold the whole thing.
Readdir returns a pointer to the next directory entry. It returns NULL upon reaching the end of the directory or detecting an invalid
seekdir operation.
Telldir returns the current location associated with the named directory stream.
Seekdir sets the position of the next readdir operation on the directory stream. The new position reverts to the one associated with the
directory stream when the telldir operation was performed. Values returned by telldir are good only for the lifetime of the DIR pointer
from which they are derived. If the directory is closed and then reopened, the telldir value may be invalidated due to undetected direc-
tory compaction. It is safe to use a previous telldir value immediately after a call to opendir and before any calls to readdir.
Rewinddir resets the position of the named directory stream to the beginning of the directory.
Closedir closes the named directory stream and frees the structure associated with the DIR pointer.
Sample code which searchs a directory for entry ``name'' is:
len = strlen(name);
dirp = opendir(".");
for (dp = readdir(dirp); dp != NULL; dp = readdir(dirp))
if (dp->d_namlen == len && !strcmp(dp->d_name, name)) {
closedir(dirp);
return FOUND;
}
closedir(dirp);
return NOT_FOUND;
