+
+Here are comments on the patch...
+
+ void
+ scan(void) {
+ - char buf[PATH_MAX];
+ + char *buf = NULL;
+ + char *new_buf = NULL;
+ + size_t buf_size = 0;
+
+In this function we turn `buf` into dynamically allocated string.
+
+
+ while((ent = readdir(dp))) {
+ + buf_size = strlen(dir)+strlen(ent->d_name)+2;
+ + if(!buf || strlen(buf) < buf_size) {
+ + new_buf = realloc(buf, buf_size);
+ + if(!new_buf)
+ + die("realloc failed");
+ + buf = new_buf;
+ + }
+
+For each directory entry we create or adapt the buffer size.
+
+
+ }
+ + free(buf);
+
+We free the buf when done.
