samba - Aug 2012 - Samba VFS opendir and readdir

Hi Folks,

I am writing a VFS module, which creates virtual a file system in memory,
not on any physical storage. However, I really don't have any idea on how
to implement the VFS operation opendir and readdir, becuase SMB_STRUCT_DIR
is very hard to manipulate. For example, I can not malloc a SMB_STRUCT_DIR.
Also, there is no any document for SMB_STRUCT_DIR. I don't know how to use
it data member.

Can someone give some examples or point me to existing example code?

Many thanks
Eric

Check out source3/modules/vfs_scannedonly.c
source3/modules/vfs_netatalk.c
source3/modules/vfs_shadow_copy.c

for some examples.
