Envoltorio de FFI Seguro

Rust has great support for calling functions through a foreign function interface (FFI). We will use this to build a safe wrapper for the libc functions you would use from C to read the names of files in a directory.

Consulta las páginas del manual:

• opendir(3)
• readdir(3)
• closedir(3)

También te recomendamos que consultes el módulo std::ffi. Ahí encontrarás una serie de tipos de cadena que necesitas para el ejercicio:

Realizarás conversiones entre todos estos tipos:

• De &str a CString: debes asignar espacio para un carácter final \0,
• De CString a *const i8: necesitas un puntero para llamar a funciones C,
• De *const i8 a &CStr: necesitas algo que pueda encontrar el carácter final \0,
• &CStr to &[u8]: a slice of bytes is the universal interface for “some unknown data”,
• De &[u8] a &OsStr: &OsStr es un paso hacia OsString, usa OsStrExt para crearlo.
• De OsStr a OsString: debes clonar los datos en &OsStr para poder devolverlo y llamar a readdir de nuevo.

El Nomicon también tiene un capítulo muy útil sobre FFI.
