Struct dir_signature::ScannerConfig

pub struct ScannerConfig { /* fields omitted */ }

Scanner config contains a list of directories you will scan and other settings that influence filesystem scanning

Methods

impl ScannerConfig

fn new() -> ScannerConfig

Create an empty scanner config with defaults

By default we use sha512/256 hasher as it increases interoperability, but consider using blake2b/256 as it 25% faster

fn hash(&mut self, hash: HashType) -> &mut Self

Use different hash type

fn threads(&mut self, num: usize) -> &mut Self

Set number of threads to use for scanning

Default is 1 which means don't create additional threads run scanning in current one

fn queue_size(&mut self, num: usize) -> &mut Self

Set number of index entries that can be queued in the background

It only makes sense if threads > 0 and you may need to tweak it only in very memory constraint situations

Default is some value proportional to the number of threads.

fn add_dir<P, R>(&mut self, path: P, prefix: R) -> &mut Self where
    P: AsRef<Path>,
    R: AsRef<Path>, 

Add a directory to the index

prefix should either be / or a subdirectory where indexed files will be placed

fn print_progress(&mut self) -> &mut Self

Enable printing progress to stderr
