Struct Pathspec 

pub struct Pathspec { /* private fields */ }

A compiled pathspec for matching file paths.

Supports glob patterns like:

• *.rs - matches any .rs file in any directory
• src/*.ts - matches .ts files directly in src/
• src/**/*.ts - matches .ts files anywhere under src/
• {foo,bar}.js - matches foo.js or bar.js

Implementations

impl Pathspec

pub fn new(patterns: &[&str]) -> Result<Self>

Create a new pathspec from patterns.

Empty patterns = match everything.

Pattern normalization

• . or ./ matches everything (**)
• Trailing / matches everything under that directory (src/**)
• If pattern has no /, treat as **/{pattern} (match anywhere)
• Path separators normalized to /
• Patterns with .. are rejected

Errors

Returns VoidError::InvalidPattern if any pattern is invalid.

pub fn matches(&self, path: &str) -> bool

Check if a path matches the pathspec.

pub fn could_match_prefix(&self, prefix: &str) -> bool

Check if any path with this prefix could match.

Used for early directory pruning during walks. Returns true if there’s any possibility that a file under this prefix could match the pathspec.

pub fn patterns(&self) -> &[String]

Get the original patterns.

pub fn matches_all(&self) -> bool

Returns true if this matches everything (empty pattern set).
