NAME
lr — list files, recursively
SYNOPSIS
lr [-0 | -F | -l [-TA | -TC | -TM] | -S | -f fmt]
[-B | -D] [-H | -L] [-1AGQXdhsx] [-U | -o ord]
[-e regex] [-t test] [-C [color:]path] path ...
DESCRIPTION
lr is a versatile tool to generate file listings with configurable formatting, ordering and
filtering.
When no path is given or path is an empty string, the current directory is used by default.
The special path argument ‘-’ makes lr read file names from standard input, instead of
traversing path. Likewise, the special path argument @file makes lr read file names from
file.
The options are as follows:
-0 Output filenames separated by NUL bytes. Likewise, read input filenames separated
by NUL bytes.
-F Output filenames and an indicator of their file type (one of ‘*/=>@|’).
-l Long output a la ‘ls -l’ (implies -Q).
-TA With -l, print atime.
-TC With -l, print ctime.
-TM With -l, print mtime. This is the default.
-S Output inspired by BSD stat(1) (implies -Q).
-f fmt Custom formatting, see FORMATTING.
-B Use breadth first traversal. For each depth of the directory tree, files are sorted
and printed, then the next depth is looked at.
-D Use depth first traversal. prune will not work, but entries and total are computed
on the fly.
-H Only follow symlinks on command line (default: don't follow symlinks).
-L Follow all symlinks.
-1 Don't go below one level of directories.
-A Don't list files starting with a dot.
-Q Quote file names (default for output to TTY).
-d Don't enter directories.
-G Colorize output to TTY. Use twice to force colorized output.
-X Output OSC 8 hyperlinks to TTY. Use twice to force hyperlinks.
-h Print human readable size for -l (also %s).
-s Strip directory prefix passed on command line.
-x Don't enter other filesystems.
-U Don't sort results.
-o ord Sort according to ord, see SORT ORDER.
-e regex
Only show files where basename matches the POSIX ERE regex.
-t test
Only show files matching the expression test, see TESTS. Multiple occurrences of -t
and -e are regarded as a conjunction.
-C [color:]path
Behaves as if path was passed like an ordinary argument, but overrides the color of
the file names to the number color which must be between 0 and 255 (default: 2,
green).
Implies -GG.
FORMATTING
lr format strings support the following escape sequences:
\a, \b, \f, \n, \r, \v, \0
Special characters as in C.
%% A plain ‘%’.
%s File size in bytes
%S File size, with human readable unit
%b File size in 512-byte blocks
%k File size in 1024-byte blocks
%d Path depth
%D Device number (stat.st_dev)
%R Device ID for special files (stat.st_rdev)
%i Inode number
%I One space character for every depth level
%p Full path (%P if -s is used)
%P Full path without command line argument prefix
%l Symlink target
%n Number of hardlinks
%F File indicator type symbol (one of ‘*/=>@|’)
%f File basename (everything after last /)
%A-, %C-, %T-
relative age for atime/ctime/mtime.
%Ax, %Cx, %Tx
result of strftime(3) for %x on atime/ctime/mtime
%m Octal file permissions
%M ls-style symbolic file permissions
%y ls-style symbolic file type (‘bcdfls’)
%g Group name
%G Numeric gid
%u User name
%U Numeric uid
%e Number of entries in directories
%t Total size used by accepted files in directories (only with -D)
%Y Type of the filesystem the file resides on
%x Linux-only: Print a combination of ‘#’ for files with security capabilities, ‘+’ for
files with an ACL, ‘@’ for files with other extended attributes.
SORT ORDER
Sort order is string consisting of the following letters. Uppercase letters reverse
sorting. Default sort order is ‘n’.
a atime
c ctime
d path depth
e file extension
i inode number
m mtime
n file name
p directory name
s file size
t file type. This sorts all directories before other files.
v File name as version numbers (sorts ‘2’ before ‘10’).
E.g. ‘Sn’ sorts first by size, smallest last, and then by name (in case sizes are equal).
TESTS
lr tests are given by the following EBNF:
