.. function:: fwalk(top, topdown=True, onerror=None, followlinks=False)
.. index::
single: directory; walking
single: directory; traversal
This behaves exactly like :func:`walk`, except that it yields a 4-tuple
``(dirpath, dirnames, filenames, dirfd)``.
*dirpath*, *dirnames* and *filenames* are identical to :func:`walk` output,
and *dirfd* is a file descriptor referring to the directory *dirpath*.
.. note::
Since :func:`fwalk` yields file descriptors, those are only valid until
the next iteration step, so you should duplicate them (e.g. with
:func:`dup`) if you want to keep them longer.
This example displays the number of bytes taken by non-directory files in each
directory under the starting directory, except that it doesn't look under any
CVS subdirectory::
import os
for root, dirs, files, rootfd in os.fwalk('python/Lib/email'):
print(root, "consumes", end="")
print(sum([os.fstatat(rootfd, name).st_size for name in files]),
end="")
print("bytes in", len(files), "non-directory files")
if 'CVS' in dirs:
dirs.remove('CVS') # don't visit CVS directories
In the next example, walking the tree bottom-up is essential:
:func:`unlinkat` doesn't allow deleting a directory before the directory is
empty::
# Delete everything reachable from the directory named in "top",
# assuming there are no symbolic links.
# CAUTION: This is dangerous! For example, if top == '/', it
# could delete all your disk files.
import os
for root, dirs, files, rootfd in os.fwalk(top, topdown=False):
for name in files:
os.unlinkat(rootfd, name)
for name in dirs:
os.unlinkat(rootfd, name, os.AT_REMOVEDIR)
Availability: Unix.

* The :mod:`os` module has a new :func:`~os.fwalk` function similar to
:func:`~os.walk` except that it also yields file descriptors referring to the
directories visited. This is especially useful to avoid symlink races.

This behaves exactly like walk(), except that it yields a 4-tuple
dirpath, dirnames, filenames, dirfd
`dirpath`, `dirnames` and `filenames` are identical to walk() output,
and `dirfd` is a file descriptor referring to the directory `dirpath`.
The advantage of walkfd() over walk() is that it's safe against symlink
races (when followlinks is False).
Caution:
Since fwalk() yields file descriptors, those are only valid until the
next iteration step, so you should dup() them if you want to keep them
for a longer period.
