Program to determine size of a directory
Hello, I need to write a program to control the size of several users' directories. Is there a way to determine it from a C++ program, or should I take another approach?
What do you mean by control? Do you plan to manipulate files, place limits on their sizes, or just monitor disk usage?
Does this help?

chrisname, OS is Windows XP.
I know what I would do with a Linux box, but not in Windows, not especially when the users have named directories after themselves and are letting them grow wild.
What I mean is that I need to store the directories' size somewhere, so I can monitor which users are exceeding the limit.
Sort of like quotas, but informal. Hope I explained it better this time.

I recommend using moorecm's link. Here it is again:

Well, on Linux you would use stat (sys/stat.h) but I'm not sure about Windows (unless you compile with Cygwin's gcc).
