Re: How to read a directory on IFS and pickup the file names as well as the owner

[Scott Klement <rpg400-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For each file, call the stat() API, that'll give you the owner and group 
that are associated to the file (in the st_uid and st_gid fields).

The owner/group from stat() will be numeric.  To translate them into 
names, you can call the getpwuid() and getgrgid() APIs.

I probably have an example...   somewhere...   but at the moment, I 
don't have time to ferret it out.  Please check and see if you can find 
an example via Google, and if you're still stuck, reply to this and I'll 
find some sample code for you.
