folder_compare
A library to recursively compare files in two folders and return two lists of files: One with exclusive Files for the first folder one list with changed files between folders.
folder_compare
also takes a list of Strings acting as exclude patterns using RegexSet
.
Overall the functionality is comparable to a diff -rq folder1 folder2 -X excludepatterns.pat
on unix like systems
For recognizing changed files, hashing with FxHasher
is used.
