bup-drecurse - recursively list files in your filesystem
Contents
Bup
Part of the bup(1) suite.
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.
Examples
bup drecurse -x /
Name
bup-drecurse - recursively list files in your filesystem
Options
-x, --xdev, --one-file-system
don’t cross filesystem boundaries – though as with tar and rsync, the mount points themselves will
still be reported.
-q, --quiet
don’t print filenames as they are encountered. Useful when testing performance of the traversal
algorithms.
--exclude=path
exclude path from the backup (may be repeated).
--exclude-from=filename
read –exclude paths from filename, one path per-line (may be repeated). Ignore completely empty
lines.
--exclude-rx=pattern
exclude any path matching pattern. See bup-index(1) for details, but note that unlike index,
drecurse will produce relative paths if the drecurse target is a relative path. (may be
repeated).
--exclude-rx-from=filename
read –exclude-rx patterns from filename, one pattern per-line (may be repeated). Ignore
completely empty lines.
--profile
print profiling information upon completion. Useful when testing performance of the traversal
algorithms.
