Hello,

Does anyone know the rationale behind not specifically defining a set of
functions to work with directories in ansi C; things like opendir(),
next_dir_entry(), isdir(), etc.  if you are writing a program that works
with directories that is expected to run on unix and non-unix machines how
do you handle this? with a bunch of #ifdef UNIX #elif SOMEOTHERMACHINE ....?
