Struct FileFilter 

pub struct FileFilter { /* private fields */ }

Filter configuration for scanning/watching.

Contains all filtering state in one place for deterministic behavior.

Implementations

impl FileFilter

pub fn new( root: &Path, include_patterns: &[String], exclude_patterns: &[String], ) -> Result<Self>

Create a new filter for the given root directory.

Arguments

• root - Root directory for path normalization
• include_patterns - Optional CLI include globs (empty = include all)
• exclude_patterns - CLI exclude globs

Returns

A new FileFilter ready for use

pub fn should_skip(&self, path: &Path) -> Option<SkipReason>

Check if a path should be skipped, returning the reason if so.

This is the main filtering function. It checks rules in precedence order and returns the first applicable skip reason.

Arguments

• path - Full path to check

Returns

• None - Path should be processed
• Some(reason) - Path should be skipped

pub fn is_database_file(&self, path: &Path) -> bool

Check if a specific path is the database file itself.

This is a special case to avoid watching the database we’re writing to.
