I am trying to printf some characteristics of the files inside a directory (only the ones that start with lowercase). However, when I execute the following code, some of them work and some don't. It looks like the stat struct may not be working properly, but I haven't been able to identify the error so far.
struct dirent *ep;
DIR *dp;
char* cwd;
char buff[PATH_MAX + 1];
off_t tamTotal=0;
struct stat archivo;
char path[]="/home/edu/Escritorio/P7/practica7/prueba";
if(!(dp=opendir(path))){
printf("Error.\n");
exit(-1);
}
printf("\nFILES:\n");
while (ep = readdir (dp)){
stat(ep->d_name, &archivo);
if(S_ISREG(archivo.st_mode)){
if(!isupper(ep->d_name[0])){
printf(" %s\n",ep->d_name);
printf(" Last modification date: %s \n",ctime(&archivo.st_mtime));
printf(" i-no number: %lu \n",archivo.st_ino);
printf(" Blocks: %lu \n",archivo.st_blocks);
printf(" Size: %lu \n",archivo.st_size);
}
}
}
OUTPUT:
Most likely the
dirent
structure returned byreaddir
only contains the name and not the directory or full path.As a result,
stat
will fail, which you don't notice because you don't check its return value.
