[TriLUG] Limit to command line arguments?

[Nathan Conrad]

Something like "*.CAD" is normally evaluated by the shell and not the
program, so it would still be limited to the length of the command
line.

But, supplying a directory to the program could be a good solution. At
least in C, one can get a directory listing with the opendir(...),
readdir(...) and the closedir(...) function. scandir(...) might also
be interesting for you.
