`struct dir_struct` structure is used to pass directory traversal
-options to the library and to record the paths discovered. The notable
-options are:
+options to the library and to record the paths discovered. A single
+`struct dir_struct` is used regardless of whether or not the traversal
+recursively descends into subdirectories.
+
+The notable options are:
`exclude_per_dir`::
The name of the file to be read in each directory for excluded
files (typically `.gitignore`).
-`collect_ignored`::
+`flags`::
- Include paths that are to be excluded in the result.
+ A bit-field of options:
-`show_ignored`::
+`DIR_SHOW_IGNORED`:::
The traversal is for finding just ignored files, not unignored
files.
-`show_other_directories`::
+`DIR_SHOW_OTHER_DIRECTORIES`:::
Include a directory that is not tracked.
-`hide_empty_directories`::
+`DIR_HIDE_EMPTY_DIRECTORIES`:::
Do not include a directory that is not tracked and is empty.
-`no_gitlinks`::
+`DIR_NO_GITLINKS`:::
If set, recurse into a directory that looks like a git
directory. Otherwise it is shown as a directory.

+Note: index may be looked at for .gitignore files that are CE_SKIP_WORKTREE
+marked. If you to exclude files, make sure you have loaded index first.

* Prepare `struct dir_struct dir` and clear it with `memset(&dir, 0,
sizeof(dir))`.
