In the man page for readdir I found this:
              struct dirent {
                      long            d_ino;  /* inode number */
                      off_t           d_off;  /* offset to the next dirent */
                      unsigned short  d_reclen;/* length of this record */
                      unsigned char   d_type;         /* type of file */
                      char            d_name[256];    /* filename */
              };
That is what is returned from readdir, this is just a guess but I would think
that d_type is what you are looking for.
