Accessing File system directories

[Dan Danillo <dandanillo@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I'm trying to find out how to browse the file system from the linux kernel.
Especially the directory content is interesting to me.
Can anyone give me a hint? Are there even some libc like functions to do that ?

So far I have found the filp_open, vfs_read and vfs_readdir functions.

However, the vfs_readdir function expects a function pointer to somehow format the directory information.
My assumption is that this is the wrong function.
So I guess that's not the function I'm after.

Thanks,
Dan
