Hi

Within the context of the containers library I would like to be able to
represent a file system, i.e. directories and files within a tree
structure.

Has this problem been solved in a public available way?

Are there any known implementations?

For instance:

typedef struct tagFile{
	char *Name;
	size_t size;
	FileTime last_save;
} file;

typedef struct tagDirectory {
	char *Name;
	size_t NumberOfChildren;
	struct tagDirectory **Subdirs;
	size_t NumberOfFiles;
	file **Files;
}Directory;

This is of course incomplete. Are there any available
implementations of such a data structure?
