I have two minor comments on the C program below,
but even if you don't want to address them this
looks good.

Is "histoty" intentional or a typo?

You could just use sizeof (struct linux_dirent_64) rather than
BUF_SIZE here.  I suppose it doesn't hurt but there's no real
sense in reading more than the one you're going to look at.
