C programming with directories and files

[JC0133]

I have a curiosity question. Is there a way in the C programming language to navigate to different directories and find files?

Any ideas/advice on how to do this in Windows and Linux?

I don't know all the processes you can use for this. But here's a start: https://linux.die.net/man/3/chdir

dirent.h is the header in the C POSIX library for the C programming language that contains constructs that facilitate directory traversing. The function is not part of the C standard, but is considered "pseudo-standard" and is usually portable between platforms.

Just to get you started:

I got no experience programming for Windows. So I have no idea if dirent.h is actually usable on Windows or not. But you can try.
