“ls” (at least the implementations that I know of) use
fts_open,fts_read… to traverse a file hierarchy. These are “non-recursive” methods which maintain a list of the visited directories internally.Use “man fts_read” or http://linux.die.net/man/3/fts_read to get more information about these functions.
