Adding directories/files to a list - help!

[thoseion]

Hi, I am trying to get a program working whereby directory and file
names are read into a list. I have been given the original list
structure - it appears that the directory names should be added to the
list, then the filenames added to another separate but connected list
within each directory node.

So far I have the program working in that the directory and file names
are all added to the list, i.e. it currently doesn't distinguish
between directories/files, and I can print the contents out. I'm
really not sure how to go about adding the filenames to the content
list though so any help would be very much appreciated.

enum Tnodetype {n_file, n_directory, n_symlink};
typedef enum Tnodetype Nodetype;

struct Tcell{
struct Tcell *next;
char * localname;
char * fullname;
struct Tcell * content; // list of files in directory
Nodetype nodetype;
};
typedef struct Tcell Cell, *List;

char * fullname(char *root, char * name)
{
const char * sep = "/";
char * res = (char *)
malloc(strlen(root)+strlen(sep)+strlen(name)+1);
strcpy(res,root);
strcat(res,sep);
strcat(res,name);
return res;
}

int notdot (char * s)
{
return strcmp(s,".") != 0 && strcmp(s,"..")!= 0 ;
}

int issymlink(char * name)
{
struct stat buf;
lstat(name, &buf);
return (buf.st_mode & S_IFMT) == S_IFLNK;
}

int isdir(char * name)
{
struct stat buf;
lstat(name, &buf);
return (buf.st_mode & S_IFMT) == S_IFDIR;
}

List cons(List lp, char * fname, char * lname, Nodetype nodetype)
{
List res = (List)malloc(sizeof(Cell));
res->localname = strdup(lname);
res->fullname = strdup(fname);
res->nodetype = nodetype;
res->next = lp;
return res;
}

List add_symlink(List lp, char *path, char * name)
{
Nodetype nodetype = n_symlink;
return cons(lp, path, name, n_symlink);
return lp;
}

List add_directory(List lp, char *path, char * name)
{
Nodetype nodetype = n_directory;
return cons(lp, path, name, n_directory);
return lp;
}

List add_file(List lp, char *path, char * name)
{
Nodetype nodetype = n_file;
return cons(lp, path, name, n_file);
return lp;
}

List filecheck(List lp, char * dirname)
{
DIR *dd;
struct dirent *dp;
int res = 0;
dd = opendir(dirname);
assert(dd);
while ((dp = readdir(dd)))
if (notdot(dp->d_name)){
char * name2 = fullname(dirname, dp->d_name);
if (issymlink(name2))
lp = add_symlink(lp, name2, dp->d_name);
else if (isdir(name2)){
lp = add_directory(filecheck(lp,name2), name2,
dp->d_name);
}
else
lp = add_file(lp, name2, dp->d_name);
}
closedir(dd);
return lp;
}

void showtree (List lp)
{
for ( ; lp ; lp = lp->next)
printf(" %s\n",lp->fullname);
}

int main(int argc, char * argv[]) {
List lp = 0;
char * dirname = strdup(( argc >1) ? argv[1] : getenv("HOME"));
showtree(filecheck(lp, dirname));
return (0);
}

As far as I can tell, Google does provide default quoting. Those making
contextless postings do so by snipping the quoted text manually.
