Some useful functions for searching directories and returning useful information.
The information returned is a map of pathnames to os.FileInfo and a slice
of errors detected while scanning the directory
There are functions for
- finding files in a single directory
- finding files in a directory and all its subdirectories
- finding files in a directory and those of its subdirectories that pass directory-specific tests
All of these functions allow you to pass additional checks on the entries to
restrict the results returned. You do this by passing additional arguments
which are check.FileInfo funcs. The simplest example of how you might use
the functions is:
results, errs := dirsearch.Find("/tmp")This will return a map containing all the entries in the /tmp directory.
Alternatively you could find just the hidden files in your home directory with:
results, errs := dirsearch.Find(os.Getenv("HOME"),
check.FileInfoName(check.StringHasPrefix(".")))See the go documentation for more examples.
