NAME

redwood -- Ruby-flavored tree

SYNOPSIS

redwood [OPTIONS] DIRECTORY

DESCRIPTION

redwood is an implementation of tree in Ruby. Like the original Tree, Redwood is a recursive directory listing program, producing a pretty-looking depth indented listing of directory contents. Without arguments, redwood lists the files in the current directory. Like tree, after listing, redwood prints a summary of the total number of files and/or directories listed.

And, again like the original tree, symbolic links are not followed and hidden files (those beginning with a '.') remain unseen by default. You can reveal them with options. File system constructs, the current directory as '.' and the parent directory as '..', are never printed.

Learn more about the original tree with tree(1) and at http://mama.indstate.edu/users/ice/tree/

This is a proof-of-concept. It's written in Ruby. It does half of what tree does pretty well. You should probably just use tree.

OPTIONS

-a

Print all files, even hidden ones (that begin with a '.').

-d

Only list directories.

-l

Follow symbolic links (that point to directories), as though they were directories. There is no protection from recursion, so don't do that.

-f

Print the full path prefix for each file.

-s

Print the size of each file in bytes.

-D

Print the date of last modification for the file, in the format like: 'Aug 25 14:92'

-F

Appends '/' to directories, '@' to symlinks, '=' to sockets, '*' to executables, and '|' to FIFO's, as per ls -F.

-L level

Max display depth of the directory tree. Has got to be greater than 0.

Other:

--help

Print the help message and quit.

--version

Print the redwood version and quit.

INSTALLATION

If you have RubyGems installed:

gem install redwood
