getdents(): This function has no glibc wrapper. As such, we should use the same types the Linux kernel uses: Use 'long' as the return type. getdents64(): The glibc wrapper uses: ssize_t getdents64(int, void *, size_t); Signed-off-by: Alejandro Colomar <colomar.6.4.3@xxxxxxxxx> --- Hi Michael, Sorry, I'm being a bit distracted these days :) It should be good enough now, I think.
