| PackageDescription | walker is a faster, parallel version, of filepath.Walk
This library and filepath.Walk both perform os.Lstat calls and provide a full
os.FileInfo structure to the callback. BenchmarkFastwalkWalkLstat and
BenchmarkGodirwalkWalkLstat include this stat call for better comparison with
BenchmarkFilepathWalk and BenchmarkWalkerWalk.
.
This library and fastwalk both require the callback to be safe for concurrent
use. BenchmarkFilepathWalkAppend, BenchmarkWalkerWalkAppend,
BenchmarkFastwalkWalkAppend and BenchmarkGodirwalkWalkAppend append the paths
found to a string slice. The callback, for the libraries that require it, use a
mutex, for better comparison with the libraries that require no locking.
.
This library will not always be the best/fastest option. In general, if you're
on Windows, or performing lstat calls, it does a pretty decent job. If you're
not, I've found fastwalk to perform better on machines with fewer cores. |
