For brevity, variable declarations and initialization are omitted from this page, however the full source code can be seen \mbox{\hyperlink{eina_file_example_01}{here}}.

Here we have a simple callback to print the name of a file and the path that contains it\+: 
\begin{DoxyCodeInclude}{0}
\DoxyCodeLine{\textcolor{keyword}{static} \textcolor{keywordtype}{void}}
\DoxyCodeLine{\_print\_cb(\textcolor{keyword}{const} \textcolor{keywordtype}{char} *name, \textcolor{keyword}{const} \textcolor{keywordtype}{char} *path, \textcolor{keywordtype}{void} *data \mbox{\hyperlink{group__Eina__Types__Group_ga82d751be730f849719ca292f9558be87}{EINA\_UNUSED}})}
\DoxyCodeLine{\{}
\DoxyCodeLine{   printf(\textcolor{stringliteral}{"{}file \%s in \%s\(\backslash\)n"{}}, name, path);}
\DoxyCodeLine{\}}

\end{DoxyCodeInclude}
 We can use this callback in the following call\+: 
\begin{DoxyCodeInclude}{0}
\DoxyCodeLine{   \mbox{\hyperlink{group__Eina__File__Group_ga13f9c2727e2cbb2d0722917e39678382}{eina\_file\_dir\_list}}(\textcolor{stringliteral}{"{}/home/"{}}, \mbox{\hyperlink{group__Eina__Types__Group_ga1feb115f8e9913e806e090d9bd5a7301}{EINA\_FALSE}}, \_print\_cb, NULL);}

\end{DoxyCodeInclude}
 The above is a way to print the files in a directory, but it is not the only one\+: 
\begin{DoxyCodeInclude}{0}
\DoxyCodeLine{}
\DoxyCodeLine{   it = \mbox{\hyperlink{group__Eina__File__Group_ga8f4aba4de6c0ff63268071c9afe7cf3a}{eina\_file\_ls}}(\textcolor{stringliteral}{"{}/home/"{}});}
\DoxyCodeLine{   \mbox{\hyperlink{group__Eina__Iterator__Group_gac7314580e18868ef229f5d2814562794}{EINA\_ITERATOR\_FOREACH}}(it, f\_name)}
\DoxyCodeLine{     \{}
\DoxyCodeLine{        printf(\textcolor{stringliteral}{"{}\%s\(\backslash\)n"{}}, f\_name);}
\DoxyCodeLine{        \mbox{\hyperlink{group__Eina__Stringshare__Group_ga495411b0bc85b9c0d59ec7255a025260}{eina\_stringshare\_del}}(f\_name);}
\DoxyCodeLine{     \}}
\DoxyCodeLine{   \mbox{\hyperlink{group__Eina__Iterator__Group_gaf9261991a4b05dc63e3401278a3281f8}{eina\_iterator\_free}}(it);}

\end{DoxyCodeInclude}
 And now two ways to get more information than just file names\+: 
\begin{DoxyCodeInclude}{0}
\DoxyCodeLine{}
\DoxyCodeLine{   it = \mbox{\hyperlink{group__Eina__File__Group_gaa4f06311bdc2285d2993deb4cdd0c8cc}{eina\_file\_stat\_ls}}(\textcolor{stringliteral}{"{}/home/"{}});}
\DoxyCodeLine{   \mbox{\hyperlink{group__Eina__Iterator__Group_gac7314580e18868ef229f5d2814562794}{EINA\_ITERATOR\_FOREACH}}(it, f\_info)}
\DoxyCodeLine{     printf(\textcolor{stringliteral}{"{}\%s if of type \%d\(\backslash\)n"{}}, f\_info-\/>path, f\_info-\/>type);}
\DoxyCodeLine{   \mbox{\hyperlink{group__Eina__Iterator__Group_gaf9261991a4b05dc63e3401278a3281f8}{eina\_iterator\_free}}(it);}
\DoxyCodeLine{}
\DoxyCodeLine{   it = \mbox{\hyperlink{group__Eina__File__Group_ga4c759d38e0c1cf88180939cc083c120a}{eina\_file\_direct\_ls}}(\textcolor{stringliteral}{"{}/home/"{}});}
\DoxyCodeLine{   \mbox{\hyperlink{group__Eina__Iterator__Group_gac7314580e18868ef229f5d2814562794}{EINA\_ITERATOR\_FOREACH}}(it, f\_info)}
\DoxyCodeLine{     printf(\textcolor{stringliteral}{"{}\%s if of type \%d\(\backslash\)n"{}}, f\_info-\/>path, f\_info-\/>type);}
\DoxyCodeLine{   \mbox{\hyperlink{group__Eina__Iterator__Group_gaf9261991a4b05dc63e3401278a3281f8}{eina\_iterator\_free}}(it);}

\end{DoxyCodeInclude}
 The above mentioned ways of getting files on a list may produce the same output, but they have an important difference, \mbox{\hyperlink{group__Eina__File__Group_ga4c759d38e0c1cf88180939cc083c120a}{eina\+\_\+file\+\_\+direct\+\_\+ls()}} does {\bfseries{not}} call stat, this means that on some systems it might not have file type information. On the other hand, it might be faster than \mbox{\hyperlink{group__Eina__File__Group_gaa4f06311bdc2285d2993deb4cdd0c8cc}{eina\+\_\+file\+\_\+stat\+\_\+ls()}}.
