* Recursive directory addition.

[TODO]
|

One common use case is to add a local directory to the image. While this can
|
||||
be done with iso_tree_add_node(), handling the addition of directory children
|
||||
in the application, libisofs provides a function suitable for this case:
|

|
||||
iso_tree_add_dir_rec()
|
||||
|

that takes care of adding all files inside a directory, recursing on directory

children. By default, this function adds all children. However, it is usual

that you don't want really this. For example, you may want to exclude some

kind of files (backup files, application sockets,...). Libisofs provides

several functions to customize the behavior of that function:
