Removing Directories from a LINUX server recursively

[rakesh_01]

Hi..I've got a program that can list the directories and files
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <dirent.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>

#define REQUEST_DIR "/"
int main(int argc, char *argv[]){

FILE *fp;
DIR *dirp;
struct dirent *dp;
struct stat buf;

dirp = opendir(REQUEST_DIR);
chdir(REQUEST_DIR);

/* Look at each entry in turn */
while ((dp = readdir(dirp)) != NULL) {

/* Now stat the file to get more information */
if (stat(dp->d_name, &buf) == -1)
perror("stat\n");

if (S_ISDIR(buf.st_mode))
printf("%s is a directory\n", dp->d_name);
else if (S_ISREG(buf.st_mode))
printf("%s is a regular file\n", dp->d_name);
}

(void) closedir(dirp);
}


I need to construct a recursive function to the directories recursively and delete it if it matches the parent directory.......any help as soon as possible pls....I'm quite a beginner to C

This is a class exercise?
