_dos_findnext

Continues _dos_findfirst search.

Defined in header <dos.h>

Syntax

#include <dos.h>
unsigned  _dos_findnext(struct find_t *ffblk);

Portability

Remarks

_dos_findnext is used to fetch subsequent files that match the pathname given in _dos_findfirst. ffblk is the same block filled in by the _dos_findfirst call. This block contains necessary information for continuing the search. One file name for each call to _dos_findnext will be returned until no more files are found in the directory matching the pathname.

Return value

_dos_findnext returns 0 on successfully finding a file matching the search pathname. When no more files can be found, or if there is some error in the file name, the DOS error code is returned, and the global variable errno is set to ENOENT Path or file name not found
