Method Details

getDirectory

File getDirectory()

Returns the file sets base directory.

isFollowingSymLinks

default boolean isFollowingSymLinks()

Returns whether symbolic links below the base directory are followed.

When false (the default), a symbolic link is added to the archive as a link and the contents of a linked directory are not scanned. When true, links are resolved: a linked directory is added as a directory and its target's contents are included.

Following links means the scan can descend into a directory that links back to one of its own ancestors, so only enable it for trees known not to contain such cycles.
