Subject: Re: Mixup with name_len & file_type in e2fsprogs

By the way, why was the application trying to access the directory
entries directly, as opposed to using some of the higher level
functions in libext2fs?  What was it trying to do?

Is there some new higher-level functionality we should be providing?
Or was this just an application that didn't know about some better
interface that it could have used?  Is this an open source
application?  Can you send me a pointer to it?
