ansi c and directories

[Randall Atkinson]

People looking for a standard way to access files and directories
should be looking at the standard for the C language bindings 
of the portable operating system interface for computer environments
(POSIX).  It is IEEE 1003.1-1988 and is available from the IEEE
Standards Office [ +1 (212) 371-0101 by telephone].

ANSI C specifies the C Language not full OS interfaces.  There is
a standard for the OS interfaces and POSIX is it.  The IEEE POSIX
committee and the ANSI C committee did a good job of coordinating
their efforts and the result is usable.

Questions about POSIX should be redirected to comp.std.unix and
questions about ANSI C should really be placed in comp.std.c

Can we let this die in comp.lang.c now ?? (rhetorical question)
