Check if a directory structure matches the expected structure

Description

This function compares the actual directory structure with a predefined expected structure and returns TRUE if they match, otherwise FALSE. If verbose is TRUE, it prints detailed information about missing or extra files/directories.

  root_path,
  expected_structure,
  only_missing = TRUE,
  verbose = FALSE
)

Arguments

root_path	A character string specifying the root directory to check.
expected_structure	A character vector specifying the expected directory structure. Each element should be a relative path (e.g., "data/raw").

verbose	A logical value. If TRUE, prints detailed information; if FALSE, suppresses output.

Value
