Well, this is a version of readdir that returns either NULL or a pointer to a dirent
structure - man 2 readdir vs. man 3 readdir (difference in POSIX compliance).

The POSIX version returns an error only if the DIR* stream descriptor is wrong, but
this one should be fine since we already check the error in opendir just before this
call. I think it's OK to do it this way.
