c/c++ how to get the names of files from a specified directory

[amohammad]

Hi, everyone
I m linux user,
Can any one please guide me that how can I get the name of files from a specified directory in a c/c++ programme.
I does't want to use any linux command, system call ,
suppose a directory named /test/ contains the files a11.txt, a22.txt a33.txt . I want to take these file names.

Any idea,
Ali Muhammad KK

Thanks for my first question reply,

I have tried the exmaple given in above link for reading the file names from a folder but the following code produce error.
if ( strcmp ( dp1->d_name , arg ) != 0 )
continue;
The follwing error message occured 11 times
" dereferencing pointer to incomplete type "
I spent 2 hours on removing this error but cannot remove , Is there any special thing that I must do for that. As the size of d_name[] is also unspecified
Any suggetion would be appreciated
Thank

Thanks to replier,
I have solved the problem
I spent some time on googling found the solution , this was due to not including the following header file
<sys/dir.h>
Thanks
