Struct CreationConfigFields 

#[non_exhaustive]
pub struct CreationConfigFields {
    pub follow_symlinks: bool,
    pub include_hidden: bool,
    pub max_file_size: Option<u64>,
    pub exclude_patterns: Vec<String>,

}

The field data of a CreationConfig, reachable via Deref/DerefMut regardless of (or gated by) validation state.

Mirrors SecurityConfigFields: a plain #[non_exhaustive] data bag that blocks external struct-literal forging, while CreationConfig’s own private fields member blocks re-wrapping a mutated bag into a Validated config. See that type’s docs for the full rationale — the same sealing boundary applies here.

Fields (Non-exhaustive)

Non-exhaustive structs could have additional fields added in future. Therefore, non-exhaustive structs cannot be constructed in external crates using the traditional Struct { .. } syntax; cannot be matched against without a wildcard ..; and struct update syntax will not work.

follow_symlinks: bool

Follow symlinks when adding files to archive.

Default: false (store symlinks as symlinks).

Security note: Following symlinks may include unintended files from outside the source directory.

include_hidden: bool

Include hidden files (files starting with ‘.’).

Default: false (skip hidden files).

max_file_size: Option<u64>

Maximum size for a single file in bytes.

Files larger than this limit will be skipped. None means no limit.

Default: None.

exclude_patterns: Vec<String>

Patterns to exclude from the archive.

Files matching these patterns will be skipped.

Default: [".git", ".DS_Store", "*.tmp"].

strip_prefix: Option<PathBuf>

Prefix to strip from entry paths in the archive.

If set, this prefix will be removed from all entry paths. Useful for creating archives without deep directory nesting.

Default: None.

compression_level: Option<u8>

Compression level (1-9).

Higher values provide better compression but slower speed. None uses format-specific defaults.

Default: Some(6) (balanced).

Valid range: 1 (fastest) to 9 (best compression).

preserve_permissions: bool

Preserve file permissions in the archive.

Default: true.

format: Option<ArchiveType>

Archive format to create.

None means auto-detect from output file extension.

Default: None.
