Cross platform way of testing whether a file is a directory
Ref http://www.nexenta.org/os/Porting_Codefixes:
The struct dirent definition in solaris does not contain the
d_type
field. You would need to make the changes as follows
if (de->d_type == DT_DIR){ return 0;}
changes to
struct stat s; /*include sys/stat.h if necessary */....stat(de->d_name, &s);if (s.st_mode & S_IFDIR){ return 0;}
Since stat
is also POSIX standard it should be more cross-platform. But you may want to use if ((s.st_mode & S_IFMT) == S_IFDIR)
to follow the standard.
