For widechar:

Define UNICODE and _UNICODE and then include tinydir.h.
Use _tinydir_char_t instead of char for path string. (wchar_t for Windows and char for Linux)
Use TINYDIR_STRING("path") instead of "path". (L"path" for Windows)
Use _tinydir_str[len/cpy/cat/cmp/...] instead of str[len/cpy/cat/cmp]. (Same as _tcs macros)

I'm reading the code, while summarizing the usage.
Predefined limitations:
_TINYDIR_PATH_MAX use OS-related predefined macros or 4096.
But some of them, especially MAX_PATH in Windows, are not the actual limit.

_TINYDIR_FILENAME_MAX 256.
We need to verify if this number is appropriate for all of the OSes.

We also need to verify if the two numbers can be equal to, with or without the ending \0.

struct tinydir_file

• variable: path, type: _tinydir_char_t[], length limit: 0(NULL), 1 to _TINYDIR_PATH_MAX.
• variable: name, type: _tinydir_char_t[], length limit: 0(NULL), 1 to _TINYDIR_FILENAME_MAX.
• variable: extension, type: _tinydir_char_t*.
• variable: is_dir, type: int, meaning: boolean if this is a directory.
• variable: is_reg, type: int, meaning: boolean if this is a regular file.
• variable: is_link, type: int, meaning: boolean if this is a link file. NOT APPLICABLE NOW!

struct tinydir_dir

• variable: path, type: _tinydir_char_t[], length limit: 0(NULL), 1 to _TINYDIR_PATH_MAX.
• variable: has_next, type: int, meaning: boolean if there's another file.
• variable: n_files, type: size_t, meaning: counts of files in the directory.
