    TITLE  :  Using findfirst with the FA_DIREC attribute




  /*
     Problem:
       When using findfirst with the FA_DIREC attribute, I get
       regular DOS files in addition to the directories.  How
       do I get just the directories?

     Solution:
       Using FA_DIREC doesn't mean *only* return directories;
       it means include directories along with regular files.
       The solution is to check each ffblk found against the
       FA_DIREC attribute.
  */

  #include <dir.h>
  #include <dos.h>
  #include <stdio.h>

  int main (void)
  {
    struct ffblk fb;
    int done;

    printf ("Directories found:\n");

    done = findfirst ("*.*", &fb, FA_DIREC);
    while (!done)
    {
      if (fb.ff_attrib & FA_DIREC)
        printf ("%s\n", fb.ff_name);

      done = findnext (&fb);
    }

    return 0;
  }
