NAME

       for_each_file_ex  -  Executes  callback()  for each file matching a wildcard. Allegro game
       programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       int   for_each_file_ex(const   char   *name,   int   in_attrib,   int   out_attrib,    int
       (*callback)(const char *filename, int attrib, void *param), void *param);

DESCRIPTION

       Finds  all  the  files  on  disk  which  match  the  given wildcard specification and file
       attributes, and executes callback() once for each. Basically, this is a convenient wrapper
       around   al_findfirst(),  al_findnext()  and  al_findclose().  `in_attrib'  is  a  bitmask
       specifying the attributes the files must carry, `out_attrib' is a bitmask  specifying  the
       attributes the files must not carry; attributes which are not specified in either bitmasks
       are not taken into account for deciding whether callback() is invoked or not.

       The callback function will be passed three arguments: the first is a string which contains
       the  completed filename (exactly the same string you passed to for_each_file_ex() but with
       meta characters), the second is the actual attributes of the file, and the third is a void
       pointer  which  is  simply a copy of `param' (you can use this for whatever you like). The
       callback must return zero to let the enumeration proceed, or any non-zero  value  to  stop
       it. If an error occurs, the error code will be stored in `errno' but the enumeration won't
       stop. Example:

          int show_name(const char *filename, int attrib, void *param)
          {
             allegro_message("Caught `%s', attribs %d\n",
                             filename, attrib);
             return 0;
          }
          ...
             count = for_each_file_ex("data/level*", FA_DIREC,
                                      0, show_name, 0);
             allegro_message("%d game directories\n", count);

RETURN VALUE

       Returns the number of successful calls made to callback(), that is, the  number  of  times
       callback() was called and returned 0.
