19[1mDESCRIPTION[0m
20 [1mlfc_readdir [22mreads the LFC directory opened by
21[1mlfc_opendir [22min the name
22 server. This routine returns a pointer to a structure
23containing the
24 current directory entry. [1mlfc_readdir [22mcaches a
25variable number of such
26 entries, depending on the filename size, to minimize
27the number of
28 requests to the name server.
29
30 [4mdirp[24m specifies the pointer value returned by
31[1mlfc_opendir[22m.
32
33[1mNOTE[0m
34 Only the fields d_name, d_reclen and on some platforms
35d_namlen are
36 filled.
37
38[1mRETURN VALUE[0m
39 This routine returns a pointer to a structure contain‐
40ing the current
41 directory entry if the operation was successful or NULL if
42the end of
43 the directory was reached or if the operation failed.
44When the end of
45 the directory is encountered, serrno is not changed. If
46the operation
47 failed, [1mserrno [22mis set appropriately.
48
49 As lfc_readdir returns a null pointer both at the end of
50the directory
51 and on error, an application wishing to check for er‐
52ror situations
53 should set [1mserrno [22mto 0, then call lfc_readdir, then
54check [1mserrno [22mand if
55 it is non‐zero, assume an error has occurred.
56
57[1mERRORS[0m
58 [1mEBADF [22mFile descriptor in DIR structure is
59invalid.
60
61 [1mEFAULT [4m[22mdirp[24m is a NULL pointer.
