Functions ¶

func ReadDirnames ¶

func ReadDirnames(osDirname string, n int) ([]string, error)

ReadDirnames returns a slice of strings, representing the file system children of the specified directory. If the specified directory is a symbolic link, it will be resolved.

func Walk ¶

func Walk(pathname string, walkFn WalkFunc) error

Walk walks the file tree rooted at the specified directory, calling the specified callback function for each file system node in the tree, including root, symbolic links, and other node types. The nodes are walked in lexical order, which makes the output deterministic but means that for very large directories this function can be inefficient.

This function is often much faster than filepath.Walk because it does not invoke os.Stat for every node it encounters, but rather gets the file system node type when it reads the parent directory.

func WalkFollowSymlinks ¶

func WalkFollowSymlinks(pathname string, walkFn WalkFunc) error

WalkFollowSymlinks walks the file tree rooted at the specified directory, calling the specified callback function for each file system node in the tree, including root, symbolic links, and other node types. The nodes are walked in lexical order, which makes the output deterministic but means that for very large directories this function can be inefficient.

This function is often much faster than filepath.Walk because it does not invoke os.Stat every node it encounters, but rather gets the file system node type when it reads the parent directory.

This function also follows symbolic links that point to directories, and therefore ought to be used with caution, as calling it may cause an infinite loop in cases where the file system includes a logical loop of symbolic links.

Types ¶

type Dirent ¶

type Dirent struct {
	// Name is the filename of the file system entry, relative to its parent.
	Name string

	// ModeType is the mode bits that specify the file system entry type. We
	// could make our own enum-like data type for encoding the file type, but
	// Go's runtime already gives us architecture independent file modes, as
	// discussed in `os/types.go`:
	//
	//    Go's runtime FileMode type has same definition on all systems, so
	//    that information about files can be moved from one system to
	//    another portably.
	ModeType os.FileMode
}

Dirent stores the name and file system mode type of discovered file system entries.

type Dirents ¶

type Dirents []*Dirent

Dirents represents a slice of direntType pointers, which are sortable by name. This type satisfies the `sort.Sortable` interface.

func ReadDirents ¶

func ReadDirents(osDirname string, n int) (Dirents, error)

ReadDirents returns a slice of pointers to Dirent structures, representing the file system children of the specified directory. If the specified directory is a symbolic link, it will be resolved.

func (Dirents) Len ¶

func (l Dirents) Len() int

Len returns the count of Dirent structures in the slice.

func (Dirents) Less ¶

func (l Dirents) Less(i, j int) bool

Less returns true if and only if the Name of the element specified by the first index is lexicographically less than that of the second index.

func (Dirents) Swap ¶

func (l Dirents) Swap(i, j int)

Swap exchanges the two Dirent entries specified by the two provided indexes.

type WalkFunc ¶

type WalkFunc func(osPathname string, mode os.FileMode) error

WalkFunc is the type of the function called for each file system node visited by WalkFileMode. The path argument contains the argument to WalkFileMode as a prefix; that is, if WalkFileMode is called with "dir", which is a directory containing the file "a", the walk function will be called with the argument "dir/a", using the correct os.PathSeparator for the Go Operating System architecture, GOOS. The mode argument is the os.FileMode for the named path, masked to the bits that identify the file system node type, i.e., os.ModeType.

If an error is returned by the walk function, processing stops. The sole exception is when the function returns the special value filepath.SkipDir. If the function returns filepath.SkipDir when invoked on a directory, WalkFileMode skips the directory's contents entirely. If the function returns filepath.SkipDir when invoked on a non-directory file system node, WalkFileMode skips the remaining files in the containing directory.
