* Make search non-blockingXavier Del Campo Romero2025-09-241-3/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Thanks to a new feature in libweb, it is now possible to generate HTTP responses asynchronously i.e., without blocking other clients if the response takes a long time to generate. This now allow users to search for files or directories without blocking other users, regardless how much time the search operation takes. This required cftw to deviate from the POSIX-like, blocking interface it had so far, and has been replaced now with a non-blocking interface, so that directories are inspected one entry at a time.
* cftw: Allow user callback to stop recursive searchXavier Del Campo Romero2023-07-111-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | So far, cftw would search through all directories and files recursively, until all objects are processed. However, it is interesting for the user callback to be able to stop this process under specific circumstances. Now, cftw will pass a pointer to a bool, initialised to false by default, that can be optionally assigned to true by the user callback. Future commits will make use of this feature. For example, this will be used to limit the number of search results when a user enters a search term that is too generic and would otherwise generate a large amount of search results.
* Add cftwXavier Del Campo Romero2023-03-061-0/+11
POSIX functions ftw(3) and nftw(3) do not allow passing an opaque pointer to the callback they call, so it forces the use of statically allocated data. ctfw (from "custom ftw") is a custom implementation that solves this, while also removing unneeded stuff. This function will be used by future commits.
