Standard C Library Functions rewinddir(3C)
NAME
rewinddir - reset position of directory stream to the begin-
ning of a directorySYNOPSIS
#include
#include
void rewinddir(DIR *dirp);
DESCRIPTION
The rewinddir() function resets the position of the direc-
tory stream to which dirp refers to the beginning of the directory. It also causes the directory stream to refer to the current state of the corresponding directory, as a call to opendir(3C) would have done. If dirp does not refer to a directory stream, the effect is undefined. After a call to the fork(2) function, either the parent or child (but not both) may continue processing the directorystream using readdir(3C), rewinddir() or seekdir(3C). If
both the parent and child processes use these functions, the result is undefined.RETURN VALUES
The rewinddir() function does not return a value.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.USAGE
The rewinddir() function should be used in conjunction with
opendir(), readdir(), and closedir(3C) to examine the con-
tents of the directory. This method is recommended for por-
tability.ATTRIBUTES
