<p>
In Go 1, the <a href="/pkg/path/filepath/#Walk"><code>Walk</code></a> function of the
<code>path/filepath</code> package
has been changed to take a function value of type
<a href="/pkg/path/filepath/#WalkFunc"><code>WalkFunc</code></a>

<p>
The <code>WalkFunc</code> function will be called even for files or directories that could not be opened;
in such cases the error argument will describe the failure.

the function should return the value <a href="/pkg/path/filepath/#variables"><code>filepath.SkipDir</code></a>
