使用C / C ++中的文件描述符实现Linux“ls -l”

标签: c linux directory file-descriptor ls

我需要用C语言实现ls程序。 我想找到一种不使用<dirent.h>库的方法。

我可以使用Linux C中的文件描述符获取目录中的文件列表吗?

感谢。

作为一名学生,我最近不得不在ECE巴黎工程学院的系统编程课上做同样的工作。

这是我的代码。我还没有对它进行过测试,但它应该可以正常工作,并且有很好的文档记录,因此您可以通过阅读评论来理解每一部分。

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{

    //Defining the different components of the program
        //The directory: it's the folder we're browsing (we'll use an argument (argv) in order to identify it)
    DIR *thedirectory;
        //The file: when a file is found in the directory readdir loop, it's going to be called this way.

    //when launching the lsd program.
    thedirectory = opendir(argv[1]);

    while((thefile = readdir(thedirectory)) != NULL)

我希望这会有所帮助:)以及其他一些学生浏览stackoverflow =)

这取决于“没有任何图书馆”的含义。

在最困难的意义上,您可以使用程序集手动读取磁盘,但这将非常困难且无法移植。

接下来,您可以使用程序集来进行Linux系统调用。但是,内核只是一个很大的库。

你可能意味着:没有任何库,除了C stdlib。 我相信这是不可能的。

答案 2 :(得分:1)

如果我理解正确,你不想使用glibc提供的功能,并希望直接使用内核提供的系统调用来读取目录的内容。这意味着直接使用文件描述符。您可以像往常一样使用系统调用open()或openat()来打开目录。

要读取目录的内容,可以使用getdents()系统调用来读取目录的条目。这些函数的示例用法在getdents的手册页中。

嘿希望这个命令可以帮到你:

execlp("ls","ls","-l",NULL);
