"OpenBSD::Mtree" is a parser for mtree(8) specifications that can
reconstruct directory hierarchies.
The basic function "OpenBSD::Mtree::parse_fh(\%hash, $basedir, $fh,
$extra)" will populate the hash $hash with defined entries for each
directory seen while reading from $fh, assuming the specification is to
be interpreted relative to $basedir (some canonicalization of directory
names will occur).
If $extra is non null, each entry will itself be an empty hash.
"OpenBSD::Mtree:parse(\%hash, $basedir, $filename, $extra)" is a
convenience function which also handles opening the filehandle from
$filename and closing it after reading the specification.
