//! Error types for directory traversal operations.
//!
//! This module defines the [`WalkError`] enum, which encapsulates all possible
//! failure states that can occur while walking a directory tree, including
//! standard operating system errors and logical filesystem violations like infinite loops.

use std::{fmt, io, path::PathBuf};

/// Errors that can occur during a directory traversal.
///
/// This enum categorizes failures into low-level system I/O issues and
/// high-level recursive logic violations.
#[derive(Debug)]

    /// A wrapper for standard library I/O errors.
    /// Triggered by permission issues, missing files, or hardware failures.
    Io(io::Error, PathBuf),
    /// Emitted when a symbolic link cycle is detected.
    /// This prevents the walker from entering an infinite recursion.
    LoopDetected(PathBuf),

impl fmt::Display for WalkError {
    /// Formats the error for human-readable output.
    ///
    /// # Arguments
    /// * `f` - The formatter context.

    /// # Returns
    /// A fmt::Result indicating success or failure of the write operation.
