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

       DIR *opendir(const char *name);

DESCRIPTION
       The  opendir()  function	 opens a directory stream corresponding to the
       directory name, and returns a pointer to	 the  directory	 stream.   The
       stream is positioned at the first entry in the directory.

RETURN VALUE
       The  opendir()  function returns a pointer to the directory stream.  On
       error, NULL is returned, and errno is set appropriately.

ERRORS
       EACCES Permission denied.

       EMFILE Too many file descriptors in use by process.

       ENFILE Too many files are currently open in the system.

NOTES

       using dirfd(3).
