I want to list files, symbolic links, directories and subdirectories under a mounted volume using C/C++ in Linux.
I have two partitions /dev/sda and /dev/sfdx in my Ubuntu machine.
I want to list all the directories, subdirectories, files and symlinks under it.
How do i achieve it using C/C++.
Currently , i am using below code snippet:
struct dirent *direntp;
direntp->d_name
to list the directories, files under a directories, but it doesn’t work with partitions i.e /dev/sda.
Partitions like
/dev/sdaare raw filesystem devices. You should instead be simply walking the directory tree.C++ has std::filesystem which would do most of that. C, being a totally different language, has no such support in its standard library.
you’ll need to find the mount points of
/dev/sdaand traverse the mount points,/dev/sdais a single fileWhat is C/C++? Is it ancestor of C++/C#?
Please choose one language and edit your question to show what you’ve tried so far — preferably in the form of a minimal reproducible example.
