What part do you struggle with?

At a high level:

You make a promise about a local directory (I recorded always specifying
directories suffixed with `/.' in order to differentiate it from a plain
file). If you want to make the promise apply to sub directories and
files you add the `depth_search' attribute where you can specify rules
about recursion (how deep, directories to include and exclude, details
about how to handle symlinks and file-system boundaries).

You can (or may be required, I can't recall off the top of my head, I
seem to recall minor changes in behavior sometime in the last decade) to
supply the `file_select' attribute as well to specify which files should
be operated on.
