Dear all, I'd really like to see a -z option in ls. This would be for "display the true siZe of directories". ie when doing ls -l, I would like it to report the total size (recursively) of files inside a directory.
I have written a hack which does that. It's not very elegant, but it works OK, and hopefully it will demonstrate what I mean. The files are both shell scripts, 'lsz' and 'lszZ'. They can be got from here: http://www.baddiant.org.uk/lsz http://www.baddiant.org.uk/lszZ 1) chmod them executable 2) edit line 11 of 'lsz' to reflect the path of 'lszZ' 3) run lsz instead of ls. It supports options -lShraA Best wishes Richard _______________________________________________ Bug-fileutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-fileutils
