then Herb Lewis [mailto:herb at sgi.com] found this info:

I just checked and neither scandir* nor alphasort* are in POSIX-1996 or
POSIX-2001.  I'm not trying to build vfs_netatalk here on VOS, but if I was,
it looks like I'd be writing some code first. I don't consider these
functions portable either.  My vote is for sticking with functions in POSIX
if at all possible.
