Unix Program for find

[girishb]

Hello Folks,

I need to write Unix C sytem program to find all the files with the given filename under a given subdirectory.The files to be found can be in arbitary depth in the directory tree.

The output should be the same as that of command "find"(i.e the path to the file will be printed out)

Please help!!

Thanks
Girish

system( "find [...]");


If you really need a C program, I believe
that it's been done already:

You can also use ftw(3). If you need pattern matching, you can use fnmatch(3).
