rebackup 1.0.2

A backup software that only builds a list of files to backup using a powerful rule system
Documentation
//! # ReBackup program
//!
//! ReBackup is a simple backup program that doesn't actually create backups
//! but instead creates a list of files to backup from a source directory.
//!
//! It uses a walker to traverse filesystem items, which can be customized through rules (see [`WalkerRule`]).
//!
//! Its main features are:
//!
//! * Fast recursive directory traversing
//! * Powerful rules system to include, exclude or remap items
//! * Handling of symbolic links (requires to enable an option for the walker)
//! * Detection of already visited paths
//! * Command-line interface
//!
//! ReBackup can be used either:
//!
//! * As a library (see [`walk`](walker::walk))
//! * As a standalone binary with the `cli` feature
//!
//! ## Library usage
//!
//! ReBackup only exports one single function which is the Walker: [`walk`](walker::walk).
//!
//! It can be used like this:
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use std::path::PathBuf;
//! use rebackup::{fail, walk, WalkerConfig};
//!
//! let source = std::env::args().nth(1)
//!     .unwrap_or_else(|| fail!(exit 1, "Please provide a source directory"));
//!
//! // NOTE: This can be shortened to `WalkerConfig::new(vec![])`
//! //       (expanded here for explanations purpose)
//! let config = WalkerConfig {
//!     rules: vec![],
//!     follow_symlinks: false,
//!     drop_empty_dirs: false,
//! };
//!
//! let files_list = walk(&PathBuf::from(source), &config)
//!     .unwrap_or_else(|err| fail!(exit 2, "Failed to build the files list: {}", err));
//!
//! let files_list_str: Vec<_> = files_list
//!     .iter()
//!     .map(|item| item.to_string_lossy())
//!     .collect();
//!
//! println!("{}", files_list_str.join("\n"));
//! ```
//!
//! ### Rules
//!
//! You can use powerful rules to configure how the walker behaves.
//!
//! A rule is defined using [`WalkerRule`](config::WalkerRule), and uses two callbacks:
//!
//! * One to determine if the rule applies on a specific item
//! * One to run the rule itself
//!
//! Here is a basic rule excluding all directories containing `.nomedia` files:
//!
//! ```
//! use rebackup::config::*;
//!
//! let rule = WalkerRule {
//!     // Name of the rule
//!     name: "nomedia",
//!
//!     // Optional description of the rule
//!     description: None,
//!
//!     // The type of items the rule applies to (`None` for all)
//!     only_for: Some(WalkerItemType::Directory),
//!
//!     // Check if the rule would match a specific item
//!     matches: Box::new(|path, _, _| path.join(".nomedia").is_file()),
//!
//!     // Apply the rule to determine what to do
//!     action: Box::new(|_, _, _| Ok(WalkerRuleResult::ExcludeItem)),
//! };
//! ```
//!
//! You can also build more powerful rules, like excluding files ignored by Git:
//!
//! ```
//! use std::env;
//! use std::process::Command;
//! use rebackup::config::*;
//!
//! let rule = WalkerRule {
//!     name: "gitignore",
//!     description: None,
//!     only_for: None,
//!     matches: Box::new(|path, _, _| path.ancestors().any(|path| path.join(".git").is_dir())),
//!     action: Box::new(|dir, _, _| {
//!         let cwd = env::current_dir()?;
//!
//!         if dir.is_dir() {
//!             env::set_current_dir(dir)?;
//!         } else if let Some(parent) = dir.parent() {
//!             env::set_current_dir(parent)?;
//!         }
//!
//!         let is_excluded = Command::new("git")
//!             .arg("check-ignore")
//!             .arg(dir.to_string_lossy().to_string())
//!             .output();
//!
//!         // Restore the current directory before returning eventual error from the command
//!         env::set_current_dir(cwd)?;
//!
//!         if is_excluded?.status.success() {
//!             Ok(WalkerRuleResult::ExcludeItem)
//!         } else {
//!             Ok(WalkerRuleResult::IncludeItem)
//!         }
//!     }),
//! };
//! ```
//!
//! You can check more examples of rules in `examples/rules.rs`.
//!
//! ## Command-line usage
//!
//! ```shell
//! # Build the list of files to backup, and pipe it to 'tar'
//! # to create a compressed archive
//! # Be aware of not creating the archive inside the directory to backup, or the archive
//! # will be listed as well (you can still exclude it from the results afterwards)
//! rebackup path_to_backup/ | tar -czf output.tgz -T -
//!
//! # If you are in another directory, ask for absolute paths instead
//! # Please note that the archive's content will have absolute paths as well
//! rebackup path_to_backup/ -a | tar -czf output.tgz -T -
//!
//! # Using filters to exclude items based on patterns
//! # Here we're excluding all items ignored by the '.gitignore' file in Git repositories
//! rebackup path_to_backup/ -f '! git check-ignore "$REBACKUP_ITEM"'
//!
//! # To also exclude the ".git" folder (using glob pattern):
//! rebackup path_to_backup/ -f '! git check-ignore "$REBACKUP_ITEM"' -e '**/.git'
//!
//! # Use an alternate shell:
//! rebackup path_to_backup/ -f '! git check-ignore "$REBACKUP_ITEM"' --shell zsh --shell-head-args=-c
//!
//! # To list all available arguments:
//! rebackup --help
//! ```
