#include <sys/types.h>
#include "dpns_api.h"

dpns_DIR *dpns_opendir (const char *path)

DESCRIPTION¶

dpns_opendir opens a DPNS directory in the name server to be used in subsequent dpns_readdir operations. A dpns_DIR structure and a buffer to cache the directory entries are allocated in the client API.

path

specifies the logical pathname relative to the current DPNS directory or the full DPNS pathname.
