Struct TimeFilter 

pub struct TimeFilter {
    pub modified_before: Option<Duration>,
    pub created_before: Option<Duration>,
}

Time-based filter for matching entries by age (mtime/btime).

Used in addition to glob filters to skip entries that are not yet old enough. Each threshold is interpreted as a minimum age — an entry matches when its timestamp is at least the threshold ago (i.e. the timestamp is “before” now - threshold). When both fields are set, both conditions must hold (AND).

created_before uses the file’s birth time (std::fs::Metadata::created()). Some Linux filesystems do not expose btime; in that case Self::matches returns an error rather than silently treating the file as a match.

Fields

modified_before: Option<Duration>

minimum age based on mtime; entry matches when mtime is at least this old

created_before: Option<Duration>

minimum age based on btime; entry matches when btime is at least this old

Implementations

impl TimeFilter

pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Returns true when no time thresholds are configured.

pub fn matches(&self, metadata: &Metadata) -> Result<TimeFilterResult>

Evaluate this filter against metadata.

Returns:

• Ok(TimeFilterResult::Matched) when the entry passes all configured thresholds.
• Ok(TimeFilterResult::TooNew*) when one or both thresholds are not yet met.
• Err(_) when created_before is configured and the underlying created() call fails (e.g., a filesystem that does not expose birth time).
