Reading of directory contents in constant memory, i.e. in an iterative
fashion without storing all directory elements in memory. From another
perspective, this reading interface allows stopping at any point
without loading every directory element.
Also defines general-purpose recursive directory traversals.
Both Windows and Unix systems are supported.
Changes
0.3
Remove DirReadCache since it was not doing anything most of the time. It was only used for the readdir_r libc function which is deprecated and is not typically used by default in the unix package (cf https://github.com/haskell/unix/pull/349)
Add new function readDirStreamFull that is like readDirStream but also returns full path to the directory entry to let clients reuse the full path from the stream root that would be created anyway
0.2.2
Add getDirectoryContentsWithFilterRecursive for recursively listing directory contents with commonly needed filtering
0.2.1
Fix listContentsRecFold to not mask exceptions unnecessarily which could cause hangups. The getDirectoryContentsRecursive gets the fix as well
Make closeDirStream hold on to the stream so it’s not GC’ed prematurely causing errors on reads.
0.2
New function for listing directory contents recursively getDirectoryContentsRecursive
New function for defining custom recursive directory traversals listContentsRecFold
readDirStream now returns file type in addition to basename
DirStream is now safe to close multiple times and it will be automatically closed by GC when it becomes unreachable
The FileType type now has only 3 constructors, symlink status is now field of some of them
0.1.0.3
Lower base minimum required base to 4.12 (GHC 8.6). Minimum
supported unix is still 2.8 because of OsString
