In the FAQ of FreeBSD 2.X, 13.12. Alternative layout policies for
directories, there is the following sentence: 

Most filesystems are created from archives that were created by a depth
first search (aka ftw). 

What does ftw stand for (My guess is File Tree Walk)? Can anyone give me
examples of programs that create archives from a file tree in a depth
first way? Do these programs rebuild the file tree from archive exactly as
they were created?

Any help is appreciated.
