Examples

package com.logicbig.example.files;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.FileVisitOption;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Path;
import java.nio.file.Paths;

public class WalkExample {

    public static void main(String... args) throws IOException {
        Path start = Paths.get("C:\\temp");
        Stream<Path> stream = Files.walk(start, 3, FileVisitOption.FOLLOW_LINKS);
        stream.limit(10)
              .forEach(System.out::println);
    }
