print directories

can anyone tell what commands do i need for a program in c, to print in the screen the directories? like command "dir" for windows, or "ls" for linux???thanx.

well i believe there is a command in which you do something like command("") or something, but look it up because i dont really know C++.

That was certainly helpful.

There is a command called 'system' in stdlib.h for in an ANSI-compliant setup. It works, but the return isn't very helpful, and without overloading support like C#, it can be bothersome for more than destructive applications that just do rm -rf /.

Try using execl() instead, coupled with fork or pipe.

At least I tried, instead of bashing someone whom I didn't even do anything to.

I'd just use system("dir") if I was on windows, although this is for C++, I don't know if it would work in C
