How to walk a directory in C

I am using glib in my application, and I see there are convenience wrappers in glib for C's remove, unlink and rmdir. But these only work on a single file or directory at a time.

As far as I can see, neither the C standard nor glib include any sort of recursive directory walk functionality. Nor do I see any specific way to delete an entire directory tree at once, as with rm -rf.

For what I'm doing this I'm not worried about any complications like permissions, symlinks back up the tree (infinite recursion), or anything that would rule out a very naive implementation... so I am not averse to writing my own function for it.

However, I'm curious if this functionality is out there somewhere in the standard libraries gtk or glib (or in some other easily reused C library) already and I just haven't stumbled on it. Googling this topic generates a lot of false leads.

Otherwise my plan is to use this type of algorithm:

dir_walk(char* path, void* callback(char*) {
  if(is_dir(path) && has_entries(path)) {
    entries = get_entries(path);
    for(entry in intries) { dir_walk(entry, callback); }
  }
  else { callback(path) }
}

dir_walk("/home/user/trash", remove);

Obviously I would build in some error handling and the like to abort the process as soon as a fatal error is encountered.

You can use GFileEnumerator if you want to do it with glib.
