Is this simply a language issue? File systems hierarchies are more easily manipulated with shell utilities (ls, cat, find, grep, ...) and system call API's are easier to access from C?
If so, then perhaps all that's lacking for convenient C access to a filesystem based interface is a good library, that presents an API convenient for use from C code, but underneath makes the necessary file system calls (open, read, diropen, stat, ...).
