// Walk is a faster implementation of filepath.Walk.
//
// filepath.Walk's design necessarily calls os.Lstat on each file,
// even if the caller needs less info.
// Many tools need only the type of each file.
// On some platforms, this information is provided directly by the readdir
// system call, avoiding the need to stat each file individually.
// fastwalk_unix.go contains a fork of the syscall routines.
//
// See golang.org/issue/16399
//
// Walk walks the file tree rooted at root, calling walkFn for
// each file or directory in the tree, including root.
//
// 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.
