Struct gitignore::Pattern

pub struct Pattern<'c> {
    pub pattern: Pattern,
    pub anchored: bool,
    pub negation: bool,
    // some fields omitted
}

A pattern as found in a .gitignore file.

Fields

pattern: Pattern

The glob pattern after being parsed, negation or trailing directory slashes removed, and the root prepended if anchored.

anchored: bool

Whether the pattern had the root prepended so the matches must be within the root directory. That is to say, whether the pattern was anchored to the root.

negation: bool

Whether the pattern should, if it matches, negate any previously matching patterns. This flag has no effect if no previous patterns had matched.

Methods

impl<'c> Pattern<'c>

fn new(raw_pattern: &str, root: &'c Path) -> Result<Pattern<'c>, Error>

Create a new pattern from the raw glob as found in a .gitignore file.

The value of root must be an absolute path.

fn is_excluded(&self, path: &Path, directory: bool) -> bool

Returns true if the given path is matched by the current pattern, and hence would be excluded if found in a .gitignore file. The second argument, directory, is a bool representing whether the given path is a directory - if so, it should be set to true, otherwise false if not (eg. file, special file, symlink).

Note that if the glob was negated (ie. of the format ! some/glob/*.here) then this will return the opposite value, eg. false if the pattern matched, and true if the pattern did not match.

The value of path must be an absolute path.
