						- # @nodelib/fs.walk
 - 
 - > A library for efficiently walking a directory recursively.
 - 
 - ## :bulb: Highlights
 - 
 - * :moneybag: Returns useful information: `name`, `path`, `dirent` and `stats` (optional).
 - * :rocket: On Node.js 10.10+ uses the mechanism without additional calls to determine the entry type for performance reasons. See [`old` and `modern` mode](https://github.com/nodelib/nodelib/blob/master/packages/fs/fs.scandir/README.md#old-and-modern-mode).
 - * :gear: Built-in directories/files and error filtering system.
 - * :link: Can safely work with broken symbolic links.
 - 
 - ## Install
 - 
 - ```console
 - npm install @nodelib/fs.walk
 - ```
 - 
 - ## Usage
 - 
 - ```ts
 - import * as fsWalk from '@nodelib/fs.walk';
 - 
 - fsWalk.walk('path', (error, entries) => { /* … */ });
 - ```
 - 
 - ## API
 - 
 - ### .walk(path, [optionsOrSettings], callback)
 - 
 - Reads the directory recursively and asynchronously. Requires a callback function.
 - 
 - > :book: If you want to use the Promise API, use `util.promisify`.
 - 
 - ```ts
 - fsWalk.walk('path', (error, entries) => { /* … */ });
 - fsWalk.walk('path', {}, (error, entries) => { /* … */ });
 - fsWalk.walk('path', new fsWalk.Settings(), (error, entries) => { /* … */ });
 - ```
 - 
 - ### .walkStream(path, [optionsOrSettings])
 - 
 - Reads the directory recursively and asynchronously. [Readable Stream](https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v12.x/docs/api/stream.html#stream_readable_streams) is used as a provider.
 - 
 - ```ts
 - const stream = fsWalk.walkStream('path');
 - const stream = fsWalk.walkStream('path', {});
 - const stream = fsWalk.walkStream('path', new fsWalk.Settings());
 - ```
 - 
 - ### .walkSync(path, [optionsOrSettings])
 - 
 - Reads the directory recursively and synchronously. Returns an array of entries.
 - 
 - ```ts
 - const entries = fsWalk.walkSync('path');
 - const entries = fsWalk.walkSync('path', {});
 - const entries = fsWalk.walkSync('path', new fsWalk.Settings());
 - ```
 - 
 - #### path
 - 
 - * Required: `true`
 - * Type: `string | Buffer | URL`
 - 
 - A path to a file. If a URL is provided, it must use the `file:` protocol.
 - 
 - #### optionsOrSettings
 - 
 - * Required: `false`
 - * Type: `Options | Settings`
 - * Default: An instance of `Settings` class
 - 
 - An [`Options`](#options) object or an instance of [`Settings`](#settings) class.
 - 
 - > :book: When you pass a plain object, an instance of the `Settings` class will be created automatically. If you plan to call the method frequently, use a pre-created instance of the `Settings` class.
 - 
 - ### Settings([options])
 - 
 - A class of full settings of the package.
 - 
 - ```ts
 - const settings = new fsWalk.Settings({ followSymbolicLinks: true });
 - 
 - const entries = fsWalk.walkSync('path', settings);
 - ```
 - 
 - ## Entry
 - 
 - * `name` — The name of the entry (`unknown.txt`).
 - * `path` — The path of the entry relative to call directory (`root/unknown.txt`).
 - * `dirent` — An instance of [`fs.Dirent`](./src/types/index.ts) class.
 - * [`stats`] — An instance of `fs.Stats` class.
 - 
 - ## Options
 - 
 - ### basePath
 - 
 - * Type: `string`
 - * Default: `undefined`
 - 
 - By default, all paths are built relative to the root path. You can use this option to set custom root path.
 - 
 - In the example below we read the files from the `root` directory, but in the results the root path will be `custom`.
 - 
 - ```ts
 - fsWalk.walkSync('root'); // → ['root/file.txt']
 - fsWalk.walkSync('root', { basePath: 'custom' }); // → ['custom/file.txt']
 - ```
 - 
 - ### concurrency
 - 
 - * Type: `number`
 - * Default: `Infinity`
 - 
 - The maximum number of concurrent calls to `fs.readdir`.
 - 
 - > :book: The higher the number, the higher performance and the load on the File System. If you want to read in quiet mode, set the value to `4 * os.cpus().length` (4 is default size of [thread pool work scheduling](http://docs.libuv.org/en/v1.x/threadpool.html#thread-pool-work-scheduling)).
 - 
 - ### deepFilter
 - 
 - * Type: [`DeepFilterFunction`](./src/settings.ts)
 - * Default: `undefined`
 - 
 - A function that indicates whether the directory will be read deep or not.
 - 
 - ```ts
 - // Skip all directories that starts with `node_modules`
 - const filter: DeepFilterFunction = (entry) => !entry.path.startsWith('node_modules');
 - ```
 - 
 - ### entryFilter
 - 
 - * Type: [`EntryFilterFunction`](./src/settings.ts)
 - * Default: `undefined`
 - 
 - A function that indicates whether the entry will be included to results or not.
 - 
 - ```ts
 - // Exclude all `.js` files from results
 - const filter: EntryFilterFunction = (entry) => !entry.name.endsWith('.js');
 - ```
 - 
 - ### errorFilter
 - 
 - * Type: [`ErrorFilterFunction`](./src/settings.ts)
 - * Default: `undefined`
 - 
 - A function that allows you to skip errors that occur when reading directories.
 - 
 - For example, you can skip `ENOENT` errors if required:
 - 
 - ```ts
 - // Skip all ENOENT errors
 - const filter: ErrorFilterFunction = (error) => error.code == 'ENOENT';
 - ```
 - 
 - ### stats
 - 
 - * Type: `boolean`
 - * Default: `false`
 - 
 - Adds an instance of `fs.Stats` class to the [`Entry`](#entry).
 - 
 - > :book: Always use `fs.readdir` with additional `fs.lstat/fs.stat` calls to determine the entry type.
 - 
 - ### followSymbolicLinks
 - 
 - * Type: `boolean`
 - * Default: `false`
 - 
 - Follow symbolic links or not. Call `fs.stat` on symbolic link if `true`.
 - 
 - ### `throwErrorOnBrokenSymbolicLink`
 - 
 - * Type: `boolean`
 - * Default: `true`
 - 
 - Throw an error when symbolic link is broken if `true` or safely return `lstat` call if `false`.
 - 
 - ### `pathSegmentSeparator`
 - 
 - * Type: `string`
 - * Default: `path.sep`
 - 
 - By default, this package uses the correct path separator for your OS (`\` on Windows, `/` on Unix-like systems). But you can set this option to any separator character(s) that you want to use instead.
 - 
 - ### `fs`
 - 
 - * Type: `FileSystemAdapter`
 - * Default: A default FS methods
 - 
 - By default, the built-in Node.js module (`fs`) is used to work with the file system. You can replace any method with your own.
 - 
 - ```ts
 - interface FileSystemAdapter {
 - 	lstat: typeof fs.lstat;
 - 	stat: typeof fs.stat;
 - 	lstatSync: typeof fs.lstatSync;
 - 	statSync: typeof fs.statSync;
 - 	readdir: typeof fs.readdir;
 - 	readdirSync: typeof fs.readdirSync;
 - }
 - 
 - const settings = new fsWalk.Settings({
 - 	fs: { lstat: fakeLstat }
 - });
 - ```
