Esta es mi respuesta. Espero que pueda ayudar a alguien.
Mi objetivo es hacer que la rutina de búsqueda pueda detenerse en cualquier lugar, y para un archivo encontrado, indica la profundidad relativa a la ruta original.
var _fs = require('fs');
var _path = require('path');
var _defer = process.nextTick;
// next() will pop the first element from an array and return it, together with
// the recursive depth and the container array of the element. i.e. If the first
// element is an array, it'll be dug into recursively. But if the first element is
// an empty array, it'll be simply popped and ignored.
// e.g. If the original array is [1,[2],3], next() will return [1,0,[[2],3]], and
// the array becomes [[2],3]. If the array is [[[],[1,2],3],4], next() will return
// [1,2,[2]], and the array becomes [[[2],3],4].
// There is an infinity loop `while(true) {...}`, because I optimized the code to
// make it a non-recursive version.
var next = function(c) {
var a = c;
var n = 0;
while (true) {
if (a.length == 0) return null;
var x = a[0];
if (x.constructor == Array) {
if (x.length > 0) {
a = x;
++n;
} else {
a.shift();
a = c;
n = 0;
}
} else {
a.shift();
return [x, n, a];
}
}
}
// cb is the callback function, it have four arguments:
// 1) an error object if any exception happens;
// 2) a path name, may be a directory or a file;
// 3) a flag, `true` means directory, and `false` means file;
// 4) a zero-based number indicates the depth relative to the original path.
// cb should return a state value to tell whether the searching routine should
// continue: `true` means it should continue; `false` means it should stop here;
// but for a directory, there is a third state `null`, means it should do not
// dig into the directory and continue searching the next file.
var ls = function(path, cb) {
// use `_path.resolve()` to correctly handle '.' and '..'.
var c = [ _path.resolve(path) ];
var f = function() {

p && s(p);
};

for (var i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
