I have read many ways to get list of all files in a directory (e.g. scan a directory to find files in c), but I also want to get their full paths (eg C:\example\file.mp3).
How is it possible?

2Maybe `strcat` helps. But you should probably provide some code you are working on... – phimuemue Mar 28 '12 at 07:37

If you happen to use fts(3) there's the fts_path slot that contains the paths to the files relative to what you put in fts_open().
So I imagine you'd open your directories like this:
char *dirs[] = {"C:\example", NULL}
fts_open(dirs, 0, NULL);
and then you get full paths in the fts_path member of the FTSENT object.

Use dirent.h, it will enable you to populate something like a linked list with the full path of everything in that directory
