Mentioning the operating system would be helpful. For example if you write windows specific code then you get the size from the directory entries during iteration, with opendir/closedir posix api you don't necessarily.

There is no way that the directory will be traversed hierachically, that you will have to code yourself. So you have to check if an entry is a directory and then do the same thing again. You have to do recursion to do this smart.
