Function Documentation

◆ G_ls()

void G_ls ( const char *  dir,
FILE *  stream 
)

Prints a directory listing to a stream, in prettified column format.

A replacement for system("ls -C"). Lists the contents of the directory specified to the given stream, e.g. stderr. Tries to determine an appropriate column width to keep the number of lines used to a minimum and look pretty on the screen.

Parameters
dirDirectory to list
streamStream to print listing to

References G_free(), G_ls2(), and G_ls_format().

◆ G_ls2()

char** G_ls2 ( const char *  dir,
int *  num_files 
)

Stores a sorted directory listing in an array.

The filenames in the specified directory are stored in an array of strings, then sorted alphabetically. Each filename has space allocated using G_store(), which can be freed using G_free() if necessary. The same goes for the array itself.

Parameters
dirDirectory to list
num_filesPointer to an integer in which the total number of files listed will be stored
Returns
Pointer to array of strings containing the listing

◆ G_ls_format()

void G_ls_format ( char **  list,
int  num_items,
int  perline,
FILE *  stream 
)

Prints a listing of items to a stream, in prettified column format.

Lists the contents of the array passed to the given stream, e.g. stderr. Prints the number of items specified by "perline" to each line, unless perline is given as 0 in which case the function tries to determine an appropriate column width to keep the number of lines used to a minimum and look pretty on the screen.

Parameters
listArray of strings containing items to be printed
num_itemsNumber of items in the array
perlineNumber of items to print per line, 0 for autodetect
streamStream to print listing to

◆ G_set_ls_filter()

void G_set_ls_filter ( ls_filter_func func,
void *  closure 
)

Sets a function and its complementary data for G_ls2 filtering.

Defines a filter function and its rule data that allow G_ls2 to filter out unwanted file names. Call this function before G_ls2.

Parameters
funcFilter callback function to compare a file name and closure pattern (if NULL, no filter will be used). func(filename, closure) should return 1 on success, 0 on failure.
closureData used to determine if a file name matches the rule.
