I was going to use opendir/readdir for reading files, but an existing answer says nftw is better. That function seems to be standard POSIX function from 2008, so it is not a new thing. However, I could not find it under Mono.Posix.Syscall or Mono.Unix.Syscall. Does nftw really not exist in Mono? If not, why does it not exist? If it was standardised 12 years ago, I do not think it is too new not to be included in Mono.

I don't know much about .NET/Mono, but would [this](https://www.mono-project.com/docs/advanced/pinvoke/) help your cause? – tink Nov 22 '20 at 21:21

@tink Thanks. However, the `ntfw` function is very complicated (it takes a function pointer as a parameter, and that function needs a complex structure as a parameter, etc), so I don't think the hassle is worth for me in this case. If it is not available, I guess I will just use opendir/readdir which are provided by Mono Unix. – Damn Vegetables Nov 23 '20 at 05:37
