ssize_t getdirentries(int fd, char *buf, size_t nbytes ,
off_t *basep);
DESCRIPTION
Read directory entries from the directory specified by fd
into buf. At most nbytes are read. Reading starts at
offset *basep, and *basep is updated with the new position
after reading.

getdirentries returns the number of bytes read or zero
when at the end of the directory. If an error occurs, -1
is returned, and errno is set appropriately.
