+/**

+/**

+ * ----------------
+ *
+ * Note: The index may be checked for .gitignore files that are
+ * CE_SKIP_WORKTREE marked. If you want to exclude files, make sure you have
+ * loaded the index first.
+ *
+ * - Prepare `struct dir_struct dir` and clear it with `memset(&dir, 0,
+ * sizeof(dir))`.
+ *
+ * - To add single exclude pattern, call `add_pattern_list()` and then
+ * `add_pattern()`.
+ *
+ * - To add patterns from a file (e.g. `.git/info/exclude`), call
+ * `add_patterns_from_file()` , and/or set `dir.exclude_per_dir`. A
+ * short-hand function `setup_standard_excludes()` can be used to set
+ * up the standard set of exclude settings.
+ *
+ * - Set options described in the Data Structure section above.
+ *
+ * - Call `read_directory()`.
+ *
+ * - Use `dir.entries[]`.
+ *
+ * - Call `clear_directory()` when none of the contained elements are no longer in use.
