Summary: POSIX doesn't prescribe directories' internal structure.

From: mimsy!cvl!decuac!bagwill@rutgers.edu (Bob Bagwill)



Draft 11: "The internal format of directories is implementation
defined...."  There must be a <dirent.h>, and a typedef DIR, and the
following routines: opendir(), readdir(), rewinddir(), closedir()
and a directory must be a file.  How it is implemented is left up to
the implementor.
