Know Your Current Directory | Using C Programming

The below program shows the usage of system() function to list down all the files and directories in the current directory:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h> //system( ) is included in this library

int main ()
    {
       int i;
       printf ("\n");
       i=system ("dir");// on windows
       // i=system ("ls"); on linux or unix platforms
       printf ("Returned value is: %d.\n",i);
       return 0;
    }

Another way

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main ()
{
   char command[50];

   strcpy( command, "dir" );//ls for unix machines
   system(command);

   return(0);
}
