Hello,

- Is there is any methods to view directory size without travelling through all files and sub directories in it.

- I want it in c under linux.

Please give me idea abt how to get the files by wildcards in c under linux operating system.
cheers,
arunkumar

Use the opendir, readdir and associated functions documented here

See the Example section on this page which shows how the functions can be used. Other sources of information are:

• Directory Operations
• stat - get file status

As for doing comparison using wildcards, search on google using 'regex' should find loads of useful references.

Hope at least some of this helps
