Expected output EXAMPLE

a.txt
sub/b.txt

Details

Save as Main.java, compile with javac Main.java, and run java Main. Uses the Java 21 standard library. Close the stream returned by Files.walk and sort relative paths for stable output.

✓ Verified

Tested on Ubuntu 24.04.5 LTS · 2026-11-02 18:01:58 UTC · openjdk 21.0.12.1 2026-08-18 · openjdk-21-jdk-headless 21.0.12.1+1-1~24.04.4

Test inputs, results and environment

The exact published code ran in a dedicated Linux test container with prepared inputs. Unprivileged snippet process, external networking disabled, read-only root filesystem, and a fresh temporary working directory. Fixtures and output records are isolated from the application database. Testing covers this example and its stated checks, not every input, operating system, or runtime version. The Linux container shares its host's kernel; this is not a native Windows test.

Architecture / host kernel: x86_64 / 6.18.54.1-microsoft-standard-WSL2
Snippet identity / locale: uid=65534, gid=65534 (unprivileged) / C.UTF-8
Interpreter invocation: javac Main.java && java Main

Test input setup

These are the prepared inputs used by the test harness. See Details above for the prerequisites and how to run this example.

mkdir -p src/sub; touch src/a.txt src/sub/b.txt

Observed standard output

a.txt
sub/b.txt

Exit code: 0. Standard error: empty. Validation: Exact stdout comparison. System-dependent values above are one recorded run.
