ls++ - colorized ls on steroids

------------------------------

![GNU/Linux screenshot](/doc/ls++.png)

# USAGE

ls++ \[OPTION\]... \[FILE\]...

# OPTIONS

Not known parameters will be passed through to **ls**, so to show hidden files,

**-a** or **-A** might be added. See **ls(1)** for more information.

### Views

    --pf    permissions, file

    --psf   permissions, size, file

    --tpf   time, permissions, file

    --tpsf  time, permissions, size, file (default)

    --ptsf  permissions, time, size, file

    --potsf permissions, owners, time, size, file

# INSTALLATION

Packages exist for several linux distributions:

## Archlinux

    pacman -S ls++

## SUSE

    yast -i ls++

## Other / Bleeding edge

I recommend using the [cpanminus](https://metacpan.org/pod/App::cpanminus)

cpan client and doing a

    alias cpan=cpanm

in your shellrc. The program will be there in your normal repositories. :)

    # cpanm Term::ExtendedColor File::LsColor

    $ git clone git://github.com/trapd00r/ls--.git

    $ cd ls--

    $ perl Makefile.PL

    $ make && su -c 'make install'

    $ cp ls++.conf $HOME/.ls++.conf

## Install from git locally in your $HOME:

    $ mkdir -p $HOME/lib/perl5

    $ export PERL5LIB=${HOME}/lib/perl5

    $ export PERL_MM_OPT="INSTALL_BASE=${PERL5LIB}"

    $ cpanm Term::ExtendedColor File::LsColor

    $ git clone git://github.com/trapd00r/ls--.git

    $ cd ls--

    $ perl Makefile.PL

    $ make

    $ make install

    $ cp ls++.conf $HOME/ls++.conf

## Install from CPAN locally; managing dependencies automatically:

    $ mkdir -p $HOME/lib/perl5

    $ export PERL5LIB=${HOME}/lib/perl5

    $ export PERL_MM_OPT="INSTALL_BASE=${PERL5LIB}"

    $ cpan App::lsplusplus

If you want to install it globaly, you just skip the first three steps

and run the cpan command as root.

### Mac OS X Installation

    # cpan Term::ExtendedColor File::LsColor

    $ git clone git://github.com/trapd00r/ls--.git

    $ cd ls--

    $ perl Makefile.PL

    $ make && sudo 'make install'

    $ cp ls++.conf $HOME/.ls++.conf

# HISTORY

I wanted to re-arrange the ls output just like one can do with the -printf

option to GNU find. Sadly, there are no -printf option available for ls, so I

threw together a quick hack called 'pilsner' that did what I wanted and nothing

more, nothing less. Not very useful to others.

Mattias Svanström crafted together the 'l' application which did basically the

same thing but more elegant and with a nice twist; it calculated relative

mtimes.

I really liked that idea, but there were a couple of annoyances, so I forked the

project and added a configuration file, support for flags that'll control the

different views and possibility to ignore as well as highlight specific files.
