Program to List Files in Directory

As we all know the file is a collection of characters, integers, and many data types. In strings, only one variable is declared which can store multiple values. First will take the file from the user. Then will Check that directory if it’s empty or not. The C programming language has many pre-defined functions for file manipulation. but in today’s tutorial, we will List Files in Directory.

With the help of this program, we can List Files in the Directory

Algorithm:-

Program:-

 

Output:-

In the above program, we have first initialized the required variable.

  • *dr = it will hold the dir data.

Opening and reading the directory.

Reading the directory if empty then.

Generating the list and printing the list of files present in the directory using the while loop.

 

In this tutorial we have learn about the C Program to List Files in Directory and its application with practical example. I hope you will like this tutorial.
