rewinddir

Synopsis

#include <dirent.h>

void rewinddir(DIR *dirp);

Status

Implemented

Conformance

IEEE Std 1003.1-2017

Description

The rewinddir() function shall reset the position of the directory stream to which dirp refers to the beginning of the directory. It shall also cause the directory stream to refer to the current state of the corresponding directory, as a call to opendir() would have done. If dirp does not refer to a directory stream, the effect is undefined.

After a call to the fork() function, either the parent or child (but not both) may continue processing the directory stream using readdir(), rewinddir(), or seekdir(). If both the parent and child processes use these functions, the result is undefined.

Return value

The rewinddir() function shall not return a value.

Errors

No errors are defined.
