-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Fn opendir
-function
-opens the directory named by
-.Fa filename ,
-associates a
-.Em directory stream
-with it
-and
-returns a pointer to be used to identify the
-.Em directory stream
-in subsequent operations.  The pointer
-.Dv NULL
-is returned if
-.Fa filename
-cannot be accessed, or if it cannot
-.Xr malloc 3
-enough memory to hold the whole thing.
-.Pp
-The
-.Fn readdir
-function
-returns a pointer to the next directory entry.  It returns
-.Dv NULL
-upon reaching the end of the directory or detecting an invalid
-.Fn seekdir
-operation.
-.Pp
-.Fn readdir_r
-provides the same functionality as
-.Fn readdir ,
-but the caller must provide a directory
-.Fa entry
-buffer to store the results in.  If the read succeeds,
-.Fa result
-is pointed at the
-.Fa entry ;
-upon reaching the end of the directory
-.Fa result
-is set to
-.Dv NULL .
-.Fn readdir_r
-returns 0 on success or an error number to indicate failure.
-.Pp
-The
-.Fn telldir
-function
-returns the current location associated with the named
-.Em directory stream .
-Values returned by
-.Fn telldir
-are good only for the lifetime of the
-.Dv DIR
-pointer,
-.Fa dirp ,
-from which they are derived.  If the directory is closed and then
-reopened, prior values returned by
-.Fn telldir
-will no longer be valid.
-.Pp
-The
-.Fn seekdir
-function
-sets the position of the next
-.Fn readdir
-operation on the
-.Em directory stream .
-The new position reverts to the one associated with the
-.Em directory stream
-when the
-.Fn telldir
-operation was performed.
-.Pp
-The
-.Fn rewinddir
-function
-resets the position of the named
-.Em directory stream
-to the beginning of the directory.
-.Pp
-The
-.Fn closedir
-function
-closes the named
-.Em directory stream
-and frees the structure associated with the
-.Fa dirp
-pointer,
-returning 0 on success.
-On failure, \-1 is returned and the global variable
-.Va errno
-is set to indicate the error.
-.Pp
-The
-.Fn dirfd
-function
-returns the integer file descriptor associated with the named
-.Em directory stream ,
-see
-.Xr open 2 .
-.Pp
-Sample code which searches a directory for entry ``name'' is:
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
-len = strlen(name);
-dirp = opendir(".");
-while ((dp = readdir(dirp)) != NULL)
-	if (dp->d_namlen == len && !strcmp(dp->d_name, name)) {
-		(void)closedir(dirp);
-		return FOUND;
-	}
-(void)closedir(dirp);
-return NOT_FOUND;
