GitHub - cxong/tinydir: Lightweight, portable and easy to integrate C directory and file reader
Lightweight, portable and easy to integrate C directory and file reader. TinyDir wraps dirent for POSIX and FindFirstFile for Windows.
Windows unicode is supported by defining UNICODE and _UNICODE before including tinydir.h.
Example
There are two methods. Error checking omitted:
tinydir_dirdir; tinydir_open(&dir, "/path/to/dir"); while (dir.has_next) { tinydir_filefile; tinydir_readfile(&dir, &file); printf("%s", file.name); if (file.is_dir) { printf("/"); } printf("\n"); tinydir_next(&dir); } tinydir_close(&dir);tinydir_dirdir; inti; tinydir_open_sorted(&dir, "/path/to/dir"); for (i=0; i<dir.n_files; i++) { tinydir_filefile; tinydir_readfile_n(&dir, &file, i); printf("%s", file.name); if (file.is_dir) { printf("/"); } printf("\n"); } tinydir_close(&dir);See the /samples folder for more examples, including an interactive command-line directory navigator.

ANSI C, or C90.
Platforms
POSIX and Windows supported. Open to the possibility of supporting other platforms.
License
Simplified BSD; if you use tinydir you can comply by including tinydir.h or COPYING somewhere in your package.
