Hello Justin,
Why not simply showing the files underneath their directories?
/path/to/tmp/file1
/path/to/tmp/subdir1/file2
In which case probably showing the directory itself is not useful,
and the is_dir column could be dropped?
The names are expected to look like this:
$ sudo find /var/lib/pgsql/12/data/base/pgsql_tmp -ls
142977 4 drwxr-x--- 3 postgres postgres 4096 Dec 27 13:51
/var/lib/pgsql/12/data/base/pgsql_tmp
169868 4 drwxr-x--- 2 postgres postgres 4096 Dec 7 01:35
/var/lib/pgsql/12/data/base/pgsql_tmp/pgsql_tmp11025.0.sharedfileset
169347 5492 -rw-r----- 1 postgres postgres 5619712 Dec 7 01:35
/var/lib/pgsql/12/data/base/pgsql_tmp/pgsql_tmp11025.0.sharedfileset/0.0
169346 5380 -rw-r----- 1 postgres postgres 5505024 Dec 7 01:35
/var/lib/pgsql/12/data/base/pgsql_tmp/pgsql_tmp11025.0.sharedfileset/1.0
I think we'd have to show sudbdir/file1, subdir/file2, not just file1, file2.
It doesn't seem useful or nice to show a bunch of files called 0.0 or 1.0.
Actually the results should be unique, either on filename or (dir,file).
Ok, so this suggests recursing into subdirs, which requires to make a
separate function of the inner loop.
It's worth thinking if subdir should be a separate column.
My 0.02 €: I would rather simply keep the full path and just add subdir
contents, so that the function output does not change at all.
