A library for iterating through entries of an mtree.
mtree is a data format used for describing a sequence of files. Their location is record, along with optional extra values like checksums, size, permissions etc.
For details on the spec see mtree(5).
use mtree::MTree;
use std::time::SystemTime;
// We're going to load data from a string so this example with pass doctest,
// but there's no reason you can't use a file, or any other data source.
