add new argument followSymlinks and new attribute is_symlink add a new file walker, it can resolve file links, and keeps track of visited directories to prevent infinite recursion
Add default value to the followSymlinks argument definition Change is_symlink behavior: it is only toggled on if the file/directory itself is a symlink change the unit of is_symlink to UBool, its filters can now parse bool values

default golang filepath.Walk did not traverse into the recursive directories. need to check if a filesystem item is a link using fs.readLink
add a new file walker, it can resolve file links, and keeps track of visited directories to prevent infinite recursion.
add new argument followSymlinks and new attribute is_symlink .
followSymlinks is true by default
is_symlink is true only if the filesystem item is a link
The code also tracks if the filesystem item is reached using a link or not, independent of it being a link itself. This is not saved to an attribute.
