Re: How to get each file name from a Unix dir in filename (not I-node) order.

And what do you want to do with inodes with a linkcount > 1 ? Yes, basically there are three ways to do what you want:

0 ) the unix way: dont do it.
  Instead let the program take a list of filenames (on stdin)    which is generated by an external pgm.

1. the semi-portable way: do a system() (or popen())
2. the non-portable way : use readdir/dosfind1st/windowsfind2nd or whatever -- Happy hacking,
