Below code sample which you have given is for iterating childrens of node c, where c can be folder(space) or file in alfresco file system.In alfresco files are called content and folders are called space.

 List<ChildAssociationRef> children = nodeService.getChildAssocs(c);
       for (ChildAssociationRef childAssoc : children) {
           NodeRef childNodeRef = childAssoc.getChildRef();
           // Use childNodeRef here.
       }
