///
/// \c dirpath is a string, the path to the directory.  \c dirnames is a list
/// of the names of the subdirectories in \c dirpath (excluding '.' and '..').
/// \c filenames is a list of the names of the non-directory files in
/// \c dirpath.  Note that the names in the sets are just names, with no path
/// components.  To get a full path (which begins with \p top) to a file or
/// directory in \c dirpath, use \c TfStringCatPaths(dirpath, name).
///
/// If optional argument \p topDown is true, or not specified, \p fn is called
/// for a directory before any subdirectories.  If topdown is false, \p fn is
/// called for a directory after all subdirectories.  Additionally, when
/// \p topDown is true, the walk function can modify the \c dirnames set in
/// place.  This can be used to prune the search, or to impose a specific
/// visitation order.  Modifying \c dirnames when \p topDown is false has no
/// effect, since the directories in \c dirnames have already been visited
/// by the time they are passed to \p fn.

/// further action will be taken if an error is encountered. If \c true is
/// returned, the walk will continue; if \c false, the walk will not continue.

/// during the walk are passed to the walk function in the \c filenames vector.
/// If \p followLinks is true, symbolic links to directories are passed to the
/// walk function in the \p dirnames vector, and the walk will recurse into
/// these directories.
