Would be nice to have an option to append a / to the end of

so that you can distinguish between a file and directory when

Something like -F option to ls.
It's a good suggestion.
I generally only use du with single files / dirs,
or otherwise I use a wrapper that makes dirs obvious (though
coloring):

I.e. the default output from du -a is hard to parse.
How about making the output of du(1) colored the same way as it
currently is
in
ls(1)? I'd be willing to work on implementing that.
I was about to post the same. I see no reason why du couldn't (or
shouldn't) do that based on normal coloring logic already present in
ls.
Are there other tools that could use the treatment, too?
On a somewhat unrelated note, I've been thinking already about adding
coloring
to md5sum(1) and the related utilities, green for "OK" and red for any
errors.
That'd be nice. Presumably, 'success' and 'failure' can also be added
to LS_COLORS?
We'd need to use another environment variable for that purpose, because,
quite frankly, adding unrelated new stuff to LS_COLORS wouldn't make
much sense.
