Use opendir() to open a directory then use readdir() to read each entry to get the pathnames and feed each pathname to stat(). You will then have the mtime or ctime that you can compare with the current time that you got from time(). Man opendir,readdir,stat, and time for details. Note: all the times will be in epoch seconds but there is no need to convert to localtime. All you need to do is divide each value by 86400 to get the number of days difference.
