>Description:
The ftw() routine is a part of the XPG2, XPG3, XPG4, and XPG4v2 standards; nftw() and expanded ftw() use are part of XPG4v2, as well. These routines provide a "file tree walk" which is available on a number of other platforms (GNU libc based, Solaris libc based, AIX libc based, at least).
>How-To-Repeat:
N/A
>Fix:
Import or author code to handle the ftw() and nftw() routines according to the listed specifications.
