[sleuthkit-users] dir walk question/observation

[Stuart M. <st...@ap...>]

This may be one more the dev list, but here goes anyway.

In testing my Java binding for TSK (soon to be released I promise!) I 
came across weird errors when calling tsk_fs_dir_walk.  I was under the 
impression that if I wanted to halt the walk, no matter where in the 
recursive process we are, I could call TSK_WALK_ERROR from the 
callback.  Yet looking at the code in fs_dir.c it appears that if the 
callback returns TSK_WALK_ERROR, the central tsk_fs_dir_walk_lcl can 
'reset the error' and continue.  It appears that TSK_WALK_STOP will bail 
the walk immediately.  This behaviour doesn't seem to jive with the 
public (web) explanations of the WALK_RET_ENUM.

Anyone care to comment?
