   howto find files in code
  i`m writing POSIX compatible code for my project but ran into one stoopid problem... how can i find files in my code?POSIX allows for file operation like fopen and such, that works, and for directory reading it has readdir and co.problem is only that readdir doesn`t tell me (or at least i can`t be assured a POSIX system can tell me), if a directory entry is a file or directory.anybody knows if there is a portable function for this or do i have to #ifdef my way to success? 
  stat (look into it''s man pages)  ;  i've seen this one, yeah.only drawback is that i have to construct a full string each time i wanna check the file.i hoped there is a shorter way (ok... except you chdir your way through, and except dirent struct has a d_type field).
