# CPP-File-Sizes
A simple command line tool to find large files within a specified directory.
After creating a [similar program using Rust](https://github.com/harr1424/Rust-Files), I was curious to learn how to do the same using C++.
This program will display the ten largest files in the specified directory, as measured in bytes.
```
./cpp_fs_size ~/google-cloud-sdk
```

```
I created the same program using [Go](https://github.com/harr1424/go_filesystem_size), and [C](https://github.com/harr1424/c_filesystem_size).
