Lightweight, portable and easy to integrate C directory and file reader. TinyDir wraps dirent for POSIX and FindFirstFile for Windows.

Windows unicode is supported by defining UNICODE and _UNICODE before including tinydir.h.

There are two methods. Error checking omitted:

tinydir_dir dir; tinydir_open(&dir, "/path/to/dir"); while (dir.has_next) { tinydir_file file; tinydir_readfile(&dir, &file); printf("%s", file.name); if (file.is_dir)	{ printf("/");	} printf("\n"); tinydir_next(&dir); } tinydir_close(&dir);

tinydir_dir dir; int i; tinydir_open_sorted(&dir, "/path/to/dir"); for (i = 0; i < dir.n_files; i++) { tinydir_file file; tinydir_readfile_n(&dir, &file, i); printf("%s", file.name); if (file.is_dir)	{ printf("/");	} printf("\n"); } tinydir_close(&dir);

See the /samples folder for more examples, including an interactive command-line directory navigator.

ANSI C, or C90.

POSIX and Windows supported. Open to the possibility of supporting other platforms.

Simplified BSD; if you use tinydir you can comply by including tinydir.h or COPYING somewhere in your package.

• Limited path and filename sizes
• Possible race condition bug if folder being read has changing content
