QB64 uses posix behind the scenes for several things, and is what my direntry.h file/directory listing taps into.  Chances are, you’d have to write a suitable .h file and DECLARE LIBRARY whatever you want, to make it work for you.

I have 'seen' posix 'in my travels' but never knew what it actually does. Isn't Google wonderful? Cool.
