+walker [![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/daaku/nodejs-walker.png)](http://travis-ci.org/daaku/nodejs-walker)
+======
+
+A nodejs directory walker. Broadcasts events for various file types as well as
+a generic "entry" event for all types and provides the ability to prune
+directory trees. This shows the entire API; everything is optional:
+
+```javascript
+Walker('/etc/')
+ .filterDir(function(dir, stat) {
+ if (dir === '/etc/pam.d') {
+ console.warn('Skipping /etc/pam.d and children')
+ return false
+ }
+ return true
+ })
+ .on('entry', function(entry, stat) {
+ console.log('Got entry: ' + entry)
+ })
+ .on('dir', function(dir, stat) {
+ console.log('Got directory: ' + dir)
+ })
+ .on('file', function(file, stat) {
+ console.log('Got file: ' + file)
+ })
+ .on('symlink', function(symlink, stat) {
+ console.log('Got symlink: ' + symlink)
+ })
+ .on('blockDevice', function(blockDevice, stat) {
+ console.log('Got blockDevice: ' + blockDevice)
+ })
+ .on('fifo', function(fifo, stat) {
+ console.log('Got fifo: ' + fifo)
+ })
+ .on('socket', function(socket, stat) {
+ console.log('Got socket: ' + socket)
+ })
+ .on('characterDevice', function(characterDevice, stat) {
+ console.log('Got characterDevice: ' + characterDevice)
+ })
+ .on('error', function(er, entry, stat) {
+ console.log('Got error ' + er + ' on entry ' + entry)
+ })
+ .on('end', function() {
+ console.log('All files traversed.')
+ })
+```
+
+You specify a root directory to walk and optionally specify a function to prune
+sub-directory trees via the `filterDir` function. The Walker exposes a number
+of events, broadcasting various file type events a generic error event and
+finally the event to signal the end of the process.
