Description

lr is a tool for generating file listings, which includes the best features of ls(1), find(1), stat(1) and du(1). Benefits over find: * friendly and logical C-style filter syntax * getopt is used, can mix filters and arguments in any order * can sort * compute directory sizes * can strip leading ./ * can do breadth first search Benefits over ls: * sorts over all files, not per directory * copy & paste file names from the output since they are relative to pwd * ISO dates * powerful filters
