1"""OS routines for Mac, NT, Posix, or UEFI depending on what system we're on.
2
3This exports:
4  - all functions from edk2, posix, nt, os2, or ce, e.g. unlink, stat, etc.
5  - os.path is one of the modules uefipath, posixpath, or ntpath
6  - os.name is 'edk2', 'posix', 'nt', 'os2', 'ce' or 'riscos'
7  - os.curdir is a string representing the current directory ('.' or ':')
8  - os.pardir is a string representing the parent directory ('..' or '::')
9  - os.sep is the (or a most common) pathname separator ('/' or ':' or '\\')
10  - os.extsep is the extension separator ('.' or '/')
11  - os.altsep is the alternate pathname separator (None or '/')
12  - os.pathsep is the component separator used in $PATH etc
13  - os.linesep is the line separator in text files ('\r' or '\n' or '\r\n')
14  - os.defpath is the default search path for executables
15  - os.devnull is the file path of the null device ('/dev/null', etc.)
16
17Programs that import and use 'os' stand a better chance of being
18portable between different platforms.  Of course, they must then
19only use functions that are defined by all platforms (e.g., unlink
20and opendir), and leave all pathname manipulation to os.path
21(e.g., split and join).

224    """Directory tree generator.
225
226    For each directory in the directory tree rooted at top (including top
227    itself, but excluding '.' and '..'), yields a 3-tuple
228
229        dirpath, dirnames, filenames
230
231    dirpath is a string, the path to the directory.  dirnames is a list of
232    the names of the subdirectories in dirpath (excluding '.' and '..').
233    filenames is a list of the names of the non-directory files in dirpath.
234    Note that the names in the lists are just names, with no path components.
235    To get a full path (which begins with top) to a file or directory in
236    dirpath, do os.path.join(dirpath, name).
237
238    If optional arg 'topdown' is true or not specified, the triple for a
239    directory is generated before the triples for any of its subdirectories
240    (directories are generated top down).  If topdown is false, the triple
241    for a directory is generated after the triples for all of its
242    subdirectories (directories are generated bottom up).
243
244    When topdown is true, the caller can modify the dirnames list in-place
245    (e.g., via del or slice assignment), and walk will only recurse into the
246    subdirectories whose names remain in dirnames; this can be used to prune
247    the search, or to impose a specific order of visiting.  Modifying
248    dirnames when topdown is false is ineffective, since the directories in
249    dirnames have already been generated by the time dirnames itself is
250    generated.
251
252    By default errors from the os.listdir() call are ignored.  If
253    optional arg 'onerror' is specified, it should be a function; it
254    will be called with one argument, an os.error instance.  It can
255    report the error to continue with the walk, or raise the exception
256    to abort the walk.  Note that the filename is available as the
257    filename attribute of the exception object.
258
259    By default, os.walk does not follow symbolic links to subdirectories on
260    systems that support them.  In order to get this functionality, set the
261    optional argument 'followlinks' to true.
262
263    Caution:  if you pass a relative pathname for top, don't change the
264    current working directory between resumptions of walk.  walk never
265    changes the current directory, and assumes that the client doesn't
266    either.
267
268    Example:
269
270    import os
271    from os.path import join, getsize
272    for root, dirs, files in os.walk('python/Lib/email'):
273        print root, "consumes",
274        print sum([getsize(join(root, name)) for name in files]),
275        print "bytes in", len(files), "non-directory files"
276        if 'CVS' in dirs:
