Simple and straightforward large files finder utility for *nix, optimize for human.
## Why?
There are workarounds about how to do it on *nix, for instance is using combination of `find`, `du`, `sort`, `head`.
```bash
find /your/directory -xdev -type f -exec du -sh {} ';' | sort -rh | head -n10
# will printout the top 10 largest files size within given directory
```
But I'm to lazy to memorize them all :sweat_smile: I need a simpler solution instead!
```bash
# my way
lff /your/directory
```
## Benchmark
I simple benchmarking with `time`, with searching the top largest files within moderate Java project directory and about 11.901 files:
```bash
# with: find, du, sort, head
find /my/project/directory -xdev -type f -exec du -sh {} ';' 6.63s user 14.03s system 85% cpu 24.131 total
sort -rh 0.08s user 0.07s system 0% cpu 24.145 total
head -n10 0.00s user 0.00s system 0% cpu 24.141 total
```
```bash
# with: lff
./lff /my/project/directory 0.05s user 0.25s system 92% cpu 0.328 total
```
It is faster!
_NOTE: Benchmarking is run on MBP2018 13" OSX 10.15.4._
