    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, ...).
