DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
The ssccaannddiirr() function reads the directory _d_i_r_n_a_m_e and builds an array of
pointers to directory entries using malloc(3). It returns the number of
entries in the array. A pointer to the array of directory entries is
stored in the location referenced by _n_a_m_e_l_i_s_t.
The _s_e_l_e_c_t parameter is a pointer to a user supplied subroutine which is
called by ssccaannddiirr() to select which entries are to be included in the ar¡
ray. The select routine is passed a pointer to a directory entry and
should return a non¡zero value if the directory entry is to be included
in the array. If _s_e_l_e_c_t is null, then all the directory entries will be
included.
The _c_o_m_p_a_r parameter is a pointer to a user supplied subroutine which is
passed to qsort(3) to sort the completed array. If this pointer is null,
the array is not sorted.
The aallpphhaassoorrtt() function is a routine which can be used for the _c_o_m_p_a_r
parameter to sort the array alphabetically.
The memory allocated for the array can be deallocated with free(3), by
freeing each pointer in the array and then the array itself.

Returns -1 if the directory cannot be opened for reading or if malloc(3)
cannot allocate enough memory to hold all the data structures.
