REWINDDIR(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual REWINDDIR(3P)
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux
implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or
the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
rewinddir — reset the position of a directory stream to the beginning
of a directory
#include <dirent.h>
void rewinddir(DIR *dirp);
The rewinddir() function shall reset the position of the directory
stream to which dirp refers to the beginning of the directory. It
shall also cause the directory stream to refer to the current state
of the corresponding directory, as a call to opendir() would have
done. If dirp does not refer to a directory stream, the effect is
undefined.
After a call to the fork() function, either the parent or child (but
not both) may continue processing the directory stream using
readdir(), rewinddir(), or seekdir(). If both the parent and child
processes use these functions, the result is undefined.
The rewinddir() function shall not return a value.
No errors are defined.
The following sections are informative.
None.
The rewinddir() function should be used in conjunction with
opendir(), readdir(), and closedir() to examine the contents of the
directory. This method is recommended for portability.
None.
None.
closedir(3p), fdopendir(3p), readdir(3p)
