char **getKeys(char *data_dir, char* tablename, int *num_keys)
{
    char** arr = malloc(MAX_RECORDS_PER_TABLE*sizeof(char*));
int i = 0;
for (;i < MAX_RECORDS_PER_TABLE; i++)
    arr[i] = malloc( (MAX_KEY_LEN+1) * sizeof(char) );  


char *buf = (char *)malloc( (MAX_KEY_LEN+1)*sizeof(char) );
snprintf(buf, MAX_KEY_LEN+1, "%s/%s", data_dir, tablename);

DIR* tableDir = opendir(buf);
struct dirent* getInfo;

readdir(tableDir); // ignore '.'
readdir(tableDir); // ignore '..'

i = 0;
while(1)
{


    getInfo = readdir(tableDir);
    if (getInfo == 0)
        break;
    strcpy(arr[i++], getInfo->d_name);
}
*(num_keys) = i;
return arr;
}

我建议在这个可重用的包装器中使用glob。它生成一个vector<string>，对应于符合glob模式的文件路径:

#include <glob.h>
#include <vector>
using std::vector;

vector<string> globVector(const string& pattern){
    glob_t glob_result;
    glob(pattern.c_str(),GLOB_TILDE,NULL,&glob_result);
    vector<string> files;
    for(unsigned int i=0;i<glob_result.gl_pathc;++i){
        files.push_back(string(glob_result.gl_pathv[i]));
    }
    globfree(&glob_result);
    return files;
}

然后可以使用普通的系统通配符模式调用，例如:

vector<string> files = globVector("./*");

基于上面的答案

#include <vector>
#include <string>
#include <algorithm>

#ifdef _WIN32
#include <windows.h>
std::vector<std::string> files_in_directory(std::string path)
{
    std::vector<std::string> files;

    // check directory exists
    char fullpath[MAX_PATH];
    GetFullPathName(path.c_str(), MAX_PATH, fullpath, 0);
    std::string fp(fullpath);
    if (GetFileAttributes(fp.c_str()) != FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY)
        return files;

    // get file names
    WIN32_FIND_DATA findfiledata;
    HANDLE hFind = FindFirstFile((LPCSTR)(fp + "\\*").c_str(), &findfiledata);
    if (hFind != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
    {
        do 
        {
            files.push_back(findfiledata.cFileName);
        } 
        while (FindNextFile(hFind, &findfiledata));
        FindClose(hFind);
    }

    // delete current and parent directories
    files.erase(std::find(files.begin(), files.end(), "."));
    files.erase(std::find(files.begin(), files.end(), ".."));

    // sort in alphabetical order
    std::sort(files.begin(), files.end());

    return files;
}
#else
#include <dirent.h>
std::vector<std::string> files_in_directory(std::string directory)
{
    std::vector<std::string> files;

    // open directory
    DIR *dir;
    dir = opendir(directory.c_str());
    if (dir == NULL)
        return files;

    // get file names
    struct dirent *ent;
    while ((ent = readdir(dir)) != NULL)
        files.push_back(ent->d_name);
    closedir(dir);

    // delete current and parent directories
    files.erase(std::find(files.begin(), files.end(), "."));
    files.erase(std::find(files.begin(), files.end(), ".."));

    // sort in alphabetical order
    std::sort(files.begin(), files.end());

    return files;
}
#endif  // _WIN32

这个实现实现了您的目的，用指定目录的内容动态填充字符串数组。

int exploreDirectory(const char *dirpath, char ***list, int *numItems) {
    struct dirent **direntList;
    int i;
    errno = 0;

    if ((*numItems = scandir(dirpath, &direntList, NULL, alphasort)) == -1)
        return errno;

    if (!((*list) = malloc(sizeof(char *) * (*numItems)))) {
        fprintf(stderr, "Error in list allocation for file list: dirpath=%s.\n", dirpath);
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }

    for (i = 0; i < *numItems; i++) {
        (*list)[i] = stringDuplication(direntList[i]->d_name);
    }

    for (i = 0; i < *numItems; i++) {
        free(direntList[i]);
    }

    free(direntList);

    return 0;
}

此外，有时直接找到源头是件好事(双关)。通过查看Linux中一些最常见命令的内部结构，您可以学到很多东西。我在github上建立了一个GNU coreutils的简单镜像(供阅读)。

也许这并不能解决Windows的问题，但是通过使用这些方法，可以实现使用Unix变体的许多情况。

希望这对你有所帮助……

我认为，下面的代码片段可以用来列出所有的文件。

#include <stdio.h>
#include <dirent.h>
#include <sys/types.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv) { 
    list_dir("myFolderName");
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}  

static void list_dir(const char *path) {
    struct dirent *entry;
    DIR *dir = opendir(path);
    if (dir == NULL) {
        return;
    }

    while ((entry = readdir(dir)) != NULL) {
        printf("%s\n",entry->d_name);
    }

    closedir(dir);
}

这是使用的结构(出现在direct .h中):

struct dirent {
    ino_t 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 */
};
