Crate xvc_walker

Xvc walker traverses directory trees with ignore rules.

Ignore rules are similar to .gitignore and child directories are not traversed if ignored.

walk_parallel function is the most useful element in this module. It walks and sends PathMetadata through a channel, also updating the ignore rules and sending them.

Modules

• abspath
  An absolute path type to ensure that we don’t use relative paths.
• error
  Error codes and messages for Xvc Walker
• notify
  A libnotify based file system notification module that considers ignore rules.
• sync
  This module contains PathSync structure to synchronize operations on paths.

Structs

• Glob
  Glob represents a successfully parsed shell glob pattern.
• GlobSet
  GlobSet represents a group of globs that can be matched together in a single pass.
• GlobSetBuilder
  GlobSetBuilder builds a group of patterns that can be used to simultaneously match a file path.
• IgnoreRules
  Complete set of ignore rules for a directory and its child directories.
• PathMetadata
  Combine a path and its metadata in a single struct
• Pattern
  Pattern is generic and could be an instance of String, Glob, Regex or any other object. The type is evolved by compiling. A pattern can start its life as Pattern<String> and can be compiled into Pattern<Glob> or Pattern<Regex>.
• WalkOptions
  What’s the ignore file name and should we add directories to the result?

Enums

• MatchResult
  Show whether a path matches to a glob rule
• PathKind
  Is the path only a directory, or could it be directory or file?
• PatternEffect
  Is this pattern a ignore or whitelist patter?
• PatternRelativity
  Is the pattern matches anywhere or only relative to a directory?
• Source
  Do we get this pattern from a file (.gitignore, .xvcignore, …) or specify it directly in code?

Traits

• Hash
  A hashable type.

Functions

• build_ignore_rules
  Just build the ignore rules with the given directory
• check_ignore
  Check whether path is whitelisted or ignored with ignore_rules
• content_to_patterns
  convert a set of rules in content to glob patterns. patterns may come from source. the root directory of all search is in ignore_root.
• directory_list
  Return all childs of a directory regardless of any ignore rules If there is an error to obtain the metadata, error is added to the element instead
• merge_ignores
  merge ignore rules in a single set of ignore rules.
• walk_parallel
  Walk all child paths under dir and send non-ignored paths to path_sender. Newly found ignore rules are sent through ignore_sender. The ignore file name (.xvcignore, .gitignore, .ignore, …) is set by walk_options.
• walk_serial
  Walk dir with walk_options, with the given initial ignore_rules. Note that ignore rules are expanded with the rules given in the ignore_filename in walk_options. The result is added to given res_paths to reduce the number of memory inits for vec.

Derive Macros

• Hash
  Derive macro generating an impl of the trait Hash.
