enhanced file info

[Marc Schellens]

I know that file functions (see below) are non-standard,
but there must be a 'sub'standard as this are very common
things.

I want to:
get a list of files in a directory,
For a given file I want to get the size, access mode, last access date, ...

I am using g++

Thanks,
marc

None of these have standard solutions.
But you can look at www.boost.org
They have encapsulated those things in a portable
way.

And rumor says, that at least parts of the boost
libraries will make it into one of the next standards.

But remember, there are more embedded systems that are
not using filesystems in the world than there are hosted
platforms that have filesystems.

One reason that directories are not in the standard.
Another is that O.S.es tend to differ on how they organize
their files.
