File Selection

File selection

By default, Syft will catalog file details and digests for files that are owned by discovered packages. You can change this behavior by using the SYFT_FILE_METADATA_SELECTION environment variable or the file.metadata.selection configuration option. The options are:

• all: capture all files from the search space
• owned-by-package: capture only files owned by packages (default)
• none: disable capturing any file information
