Crate walkdir_minimal 

walkdir_minimal

A fast, minimalist, and POSIX-compliant recursive directory traverser with zero external dependencies.

This crate provides an efficient way to iterate over directories, featuring:

• Cycle Detection: Prevents infinite recursion from circular symbolic links using device and inode IDs.
• Performance: Caches file types during traversal to avoid redundant and expensive syscalls.
• Safety: 100% safe Rust implementation with no unsafe blocks.
• Flexibility: Configurable recursion depth and optional error handling (ignore or report).

Security and Reliability

This library is designed with POSIX environments in mind. It uses standard Unix metadata to track visited directories, ensuring that even complex filesystem structures with nested symbolic links are handled safely without memory leaks or infinite loops.

Structs

Entry

Represents a single directory entry found during the walk. Provides access to the path, depth, and cached file type. Represents a single directory entry found during the walk.

WalkDir

The main entry point for the library. An iterator that recursively yields directory entries based on the provided configuration. The primary iterator for recursive directory walking.

WalkOptions

Configuration structure to customize the behavior of the walker, including depth limits and error handling policies. Configuration structure to customize the behavior of the directory walker.

Enums

WalkError

Defines the error types that can occur during traversal, such as I/O failures or detected symbolic link loops. Errors that can occur during a directory traversal.
