Hello All, I want to find out the internal workings of the file operations member readdir. Specially the arguments it received. What is the purpose of the file pointer, what is dirent (void ptr) for. Do the void ptr i.e. dirent has something when called. Do the filldir function fills the dirent etc. I am asking this because I am working in a client/server environment. The client will get the request for readdir but the actual storage and directories are on server so what the client will have to pass to the server to have its request fulfilled. On the other hand what will be the reply of the server i.e. do the server have to pass this void ptr dirent back to client etc. N.B.: I am using my own structures of inode, dentry etc and these structures are common between client and server. Thanks, Uzair Lakhani __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
