search directory using wildcards

[hokierob]

I want to be able to pass a directory name and a "filter" to a program and have it return the matching listing. On windows this is easily accomplished using _findfirst and _findnext. Are there any equivalent methods on the Unix side. I am looking at opendir, and readdir but not sure if these will work with what I want to do. Thanks.
