Linux Folder Iteration

[Connell]

Hi,

Sorry if this is OT but I'm not sure where else to post it.

How do you iterate through the files in a particular folder on linux in
C++?

Thanks,
Connell

Linux has "directories", not "folders".

Well, as is, the question is clearly off-topic because it is
environment specific. There is, however, a fairly general answer:

The Boost file system library provides functionality like this. As
this library will likely become part of the second C++ library
technical report (TR2 for short), it has a fair chance to eventually
become part of the standard C++ library. Just get the library from
<http://www.boost.org/>.
