(e.g., This code below will silently skip directories +that the owner of the running process does not have permission to access.) + +```rust,no_run +use walkdir::WalkDir; + +for entry in WalkDir::new("foo").into_iter().filter_map(|e| e.ok()) { + println!("{}", entry.path().display()); +} +``` + +### Example: follow symbolic links + +The same code as above, except `follow_links` is enabled: + +```rust,no_run +use walkdir::WalkDir; + +for entry in WalkDir::new("foo").follow_links(true) { + let entry = entry.unwrap(); + println!("{}", entry.path().display()); +} +``` + +### Example: skip hidden files and directories efficiently on unix + +This uses the `filter_entry` iterator adapter to avoid yielding hidden files +and directories efficiently: + +```rust,no_run +use walkdir::{DirEntry, WalkDir}; + +fn is_hidden(entry: &DirEntry) -> bool { + entry.file_name() + .to_str() + .map(|s| s.starts_with(".")) + .unwrap_or(false) +} + +let walker = WalkDir::new("foo").into_iter(); +for entry in walker.filter_entry(|e| !is_hidden(e)) { + let entry = entry.unwrap(); + println!("{}", entry.path().display()); +} +``` + +### Minimum Rust version policy + +This crate's minimum supported `rustc` version is `1.34.0`. + +The current policy is that the minimum Rust version required to use this crate +can be increased in minor version updates. For example, if `crate 1.0` requires +Rust 1.20.0, then `crate 1.0.z` for all values of `z` will also require Rust +1.20.0 or newer. However, `crate 1.y` for `y > 0` may require a newer minimum +version of Rust. + +In general, this crate will be conservative with respect to the minimum +supported version of Rust. + +### Performance + +The short story is that performance is comparable with `find` and glibc's +`nftw` on both a warm and cold file cache. In fact, I cannot observe any +performance difference after running `find /`, `walkdir /` and `nftw /` on my +local file system (SSD, ~3 million entries). More precisely, I am reasonably +confident that this crate makes as few system calls and close to as few +allocations as possible. + +I haven't recorded any benchmarks, but here are some things you can try with a +local checkout of `walkdir`: + +```sh +# The directory you want to recursively walk: +DIR=$HOME + +# If you want to observe perf on a cold file cache, run this before *each* +# command: +sudo sh -c 'echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches' + +# To warm the caches +find $DIR + +# Test speed of `find` on warm cache: +time find $DIR + +# Compile and test speed of `walkdir` crate: +cargo build --release --example walkdir +time ./target/release/examples/walkdir $DIR + +# Compile and test speed of glibc's `nftw`: +gcc -O3 -o nftw ./compare/nftw.c +time ./nftw $DIR + +# For shits and giggles, test speed of Python's (2 or 3) os.walk: +time python ./compare/walk.py $DIR +``` + +On my system, the performance of `walkdir`, `find` and `nftw` is comparable. |
