Re: A function for ls?

[Jeff Shipman <shippy nmt edu>]

You can open a pipe to ls, or you can use stat(),
which is what I believe ls uses. GTK also provides
support for file selection if you want a widget
that provides the user a way of selecting a file.
access() is another handy function that  allows
you to test permissions.
