Which ones _don't_ open directories?

Shouldn't fopen("path_to_some_directory", "r") work?

-brandon

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    if (!fopen(argv[1], "r")) {
        perror("File open failed");
        return 1;
    }

    puts("File open succeeded.");

    return 0;
}
