// A faster implementation of filepath.Walk.
//
// filepath.Walk's design necessarily calls os.Lstat on each file,
// even if the caller needs less info. And goimports only need to know
// the type of each file. The kernel interface provides the type in
// the Readdir call but the standard library ignored it.
// fastwalk_unix.go contains a fork of the syscall routines.

// If fastWalk returns filepath.SkipDir, the directory is skipped.

// Unlike filepath.Walk:
//   * file stat calls must be done by the user.
//     The only provided metadata is the file type, which does not include
//     any permission bits.
//   * multiple goroutines stat the filesystem concurrently. The provided
//     walkFn must be safe for concurrent use.
//   * fastWalk can follow symlinks if walkFn returns the traverseLink
//     sentinel error. It is the walkFn's responsibility to prevent
//     fastWalk from going into symlink cycles.
