scanning directory

[rtnMichael]

hey everyone,
I'm looking for the fastest way to scan a directory for a file. I don't want to go into any other directories that are in there, just search at the top level.

Thanks
M

getdents() offers a relative fast solution.


otherwise you can try something like
fopen("my_filename","r&quot
if it succeeds my_filename is present,otherwise it is not. To make the code even faster you can use the stat() system call.

cheers
