+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <ftw.h>
+.P
+int nftw(const char *\fIpath\fP, int (*\fIfn\fP)(const char *,
+ const struct stat *, int, struct FTW *), int \fIfd_limit\fP, int \fIflags\fP);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+\fInftw\fR()
+function shall recursively descend the directory hierarchy rooted in
+.IR path .
+The
+\fInftw\fR()
+function has a similar effect to
+\fIftw\fR()
+except that it takes an additional argument
+.IR flags ,
+which is a bitwise-inclusive OR of zero or more of the following flags:
+.IP FTW_CHDIR 12
+If set,
+\fInftw\fR()
+shall change the current working directory to each directory as it
+reports files in that directory. If clear,
+\fInftw\fR()
+shall not change the current working directory.
+.IP FTW_DEPTH 12
+If set,
+\fInftw\fR()
+shall report all files in a directory before reporting the directory
+itself. If clear,
+\fInftw\fR()
+shall report any directory before reporting the files in that directory.
+.IP FTW_MOUNT 12
+If set,
+\fInftw\fR()
+shall only report files in the same file system as
+.IR path .
+If clear,
+\fInftw\fR()
+shall report all files encountered during the walk.
+.IP FTW_PHYS 12
+If set,
+\fInftw\fR()
+shall perform a physical walk and shall not follow symbolic links.
+.P
+If FTW_PHYS is clear and FTW_DEPTH is set,
+\fInftw\fR()
+shall follow links instead of reporting them, but shall not report any
+directory that would be a descendant of itself. If FTW_PHYS is clear
+and FTW_DEPTH is clear,
+\fInftw\fR()
+shall follow links instead of reporting them, but shall not report the
+contents of any directory that would be a descendant of itself.
+.P
+At each file it encounters,
+\fInftw\fR()
+shall call the user-supplied function
+.IR fn
+with four arguments:
+.IP " *" 4
+The first argument is the pathname of the object.
+.IP " *" 4
+The second argument is a pointer to the
+.BR stat
+buffer containing information on the object, filled in as if
+\fIfstatat\fR(),
+\fIstat\fR(),
+or
+\fIlstat\fR()
+had been called to retrieve the information.
+.IP " *" 4
+The third argument is an integer giving additional information. Its
+value is one of the following:
+.RS 4
+.IP FTW_D 10
+The object is a directory.
+.IP FTW_DNR 10
+The object is a directory that cannot be read. The
+.IR fn
+function shall not be called for any of its descendants.
+.IP FTW_DP 10
+The object is a directory and subdirectories have been visited. (This
+condition shall only occur if the FTW_DEPTH flag is included in
+.IR flags .)
+.IP FTW_F 10
+The object is a non-directory file.
+.IP FTW_NS 10
+The
+\fIstat\fR()
+function failed on the object because of lack of appropriate
+permission. The
+.BR stat
+buffer passed to
+.IR fn
+is undefined. Failure of
+\fIstat\fR()
+for any other reason is considered an error and
+\fInftw\fR()
+shall return \-1.
+.IP FTW_SL 10
+The object is a symbolic link. (This condition shall only occur if the
+FTW_PHYS flag is included in
+.IR flags .)
+.IP FTW_SLN 10
+The object is a symbolic link that does not name an existing file.
+(This condition shall only occur if the FTW_PHYS flag is not included in
+.IR flags .)
+.RE
+.IP " *" 4
+The fourth argument is a pointer to an
+.BR FTW
+structure.
+The value of
+.BR base
+is the offset of the object's filename in the pathname passed as the
+first argument to
+.IR fn .
+The value of
+.BR level
+indicates depth relative to the root of the walk, where the root level
+is 0.
+.P
+The results are unspecified if the application-supplied
+.IR fn
+function does not preserve the current working directory.
+.P
+The argument
+.IR fd_limit
+sets the maximum number of file descriptors that shall be used by
+\fInftw\fR()
+while traversing the file tree. At most one file descriptor shall be
+used for each directory level.
+.P
+The
+\fInftw\fR()
+function need not be thread-safe.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+The
+\fInftw\fR()
+function shall continue until the first of the following conditions
+occurs:
+.IP " *" 4
+An invocation of
+.IR fn
+shall return a non-zero value, in which case
+\fInftw\fR()
+shall return that value.
+.IP " *" 4
+The
+\fInftw\fR()
+function detects an error other than
+.BR [EACCES]
+(see FTW_DNR and FTW_NS above),
+in which case
+\fInftw\fR()
+shall return \-1 and set
+.IR errno
+to indicate the error.
+.IP " *" 4
+The tree is exhausted, in which case
+\fInftw\fR()
+shall return 0.
+.SH ERRORS
+The
+\fInftw\fR()
+function shall fail if:
+.TP
+.BR EACCES
+Search permission is denied for any component of
+.IR path
+or read permission is denied for
+.IR path ,
+or
+.IR fn
+returns \-1 and does not reset
+.IR errno .
+.TP
+.BR ELOOP
+A loop exists in symbolic links encountered during resolution of the
+.IR path
+argument.
+.TP
+.BR ENAMETOOLONG
+.br
+The length of a component of a pathname is longer than
+{NAME_MAX}.
+.TP
+.BR ENOENT
+A component of
+.IR path
+does not name an existing file or
+.IR path
+is an empty string.
+.TP
+.BR ENOTDIR
+A component of
+.IR path
+names an existing file that is neither a directory nor a symbolic link
+to a directory.
+.TP
+.BR EOVERFLOW
+A field in the
+.BR stat
+structure cannot be represented correctly in the current programming
+environment for one or more files found in the file hierarchy.
+.P
+The
+\fInftw\fR()
+function may fail if:
+.TP
+.BR ELOOP
+More than
+{SYMLOOP_MAX}
+symbolic links were encountered during resolution of the
+.IR path
+argument.
+.TP
+.BR EMFILE
+All file descriptors available to the process are currently open.
+.TP
+.BR ENAMETOOLONG
+.br
+The length of a pathname exceeds
+{PATH_MAX},
+or pathname resolution of a symbolic link produced an intermediate
+result with a length that exceeds
+{PATH_MAX}.
+.TP
+.BR ENFILE
+Too many files are currently open in the system.
+.P
+In addition,
+.IR errno
+may be set if the function pointed to by
+.IR fn
+causes
+.IR errno
+to be set.
+.LP
+.IR "The following sections are informative."
+.SH EXAMPLES
+The following program traverses the directory tree under the path named
+in its first command-line argument, or under the current directory if
+no argument is supplied. It displays various information about each
+file. The second command-line argument can be used to specify characters
+that control the value assigned to the
+.IR flags
+argument when calling
+\fInftw\fR().

+.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
+The
+\fInftw\fR()
+function may allocate dynamic storage during its operation. If
+\fInftw\fR()
+is forcibly terminated, such as by
+\fIlongjmp\fR()
+or
+\fIsiglongjmp\fR()
+being executed by the function pointed to by
+.IR fn
+or an interrupt routine,
+\fInftw\fR()
+does not have a chance to free that storage, so it remains permanently
+allocated. A safe way to handle interrupts is to store the fact that an
+interrupt has occurred, and arrange to have the function pointed to by
+.IR fn
+return a non-zero value at its next invocation.
+.SH RATIONALE
+None.
