bup-drecurse(1)
NAME
bup-drecurse - recursively list files in your filesystem
SYNOPSIS
bup drecurse [-x] [-q] [--profile] <path>
DESCRIPTION
bup drecurse traverses files in the filesystem in a way similar to find(1). In most cases, you should use find(1) instead.
This program is useful mainly for testing the file traversal algorithm
used in bup-index(1).
Note that filenames are returned in reverse alphabetical order, as in
bup-index(1). This is important because you can't generate the hash of
a parent directory until you have generated the hashes of all its children. When listing files in reverse order, the parent directory will
come after its children, making this easy.
OPTIONS
- -x, --xdev, --one-file-system
- don't cross filesystem boundaries.
- -q, --quiet
- don't print filenames as they are encountered. Useful when testing performance of the traversal algorithms.
- --profile
- print profiling information upon completion. Useful when testing performance of the traversal algorithms.
EXAMPLE
bup drecurse -x /
