NAME
       direntry - read directory entries

SYNTAX
       #include <direntry.h>

       DIR *opendir(fn);

       struct direntry *readdir(dir);

       void closedir(dir);

       DIR *dir;
       char *fn;

DESCRIPTION
       The point of direntry.h is to provide a uniform interface to BSD's sys/dir.h and POSIX's dirent.h.

       The  readdir  interface	is  highly unsatisfactory.  It does not distinguish between I/O errors and end-of-directory.  It uses malloc.  The
       return type for closedir varies: some implementations return the close return value.
