glibc2 defines struct dirent differently than the Linux kernel does. The getdents function therefore needs to read a heuristically defined number of kernel dirents to satisfy the request. In case where too many kernel dirents have been read, the function lseeks on the directory so that a next call will start with the right dirent. The offset used in lseeking is the offset-field in the last dirent passed to the application. This can only mean that the offset-field holds the offset of the next dirent and not the offset of the dirent itself. |
