file-tree

Representation of directory/file structure in file system to create, delete or link.

This crate is in a early development stage, we can only read file structures for now.

There's a lot left to be documented... there are some code in examples/ folder for now, it can give you a blurry image of what this crate is about.

See source code for File and FileType structs, and the methods they supply.

Performance note:

This might change, but this crate isn't intended to be the fastest one out there, there is a lot to improve in terms of performance, however, we will be more focused in nice error treatment instead of blazing thought the file system and returning a io::Result for everything.

Alternatives:

If you don't want to create structures, but instead, just read directories, I suggest you use walkdir instead.

There's a crate in progress to make a human readable parser out of this representation.
