struct dirent doesn't contain d_namlen and d_type fields.

[thomas dot revell at powerconv dot alstom dot com]

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working on porting some (old) Solaris based programs to 
Cygwin. At some points, these make use of the d_namlen and d_type fields 
in the dirent structure. The trouble is, Cygwin doesn't seem to have 
these. I suppose I could simulate d_namlen by calling strlen () on the 
d_name field (if anyone knows of some reason why this is a bad idea, 
please let me know).

Does anyone know how I can simulate the d_type field? Or if it's even 
relevant in Cygwin at all?

Any advice will be much appreciated.

Regards,

Thomas Revell
