Re: [9fans] Replacement for find

Thanks for your answers! But I consider it ugly, to ask for the disk usage if you just want to recursively list all files. And then, the man page for du(1) is missing from the distribution http://github.com/9fans/plan9port If found one in the book "Plan9 the Manuals", snd edition. But

leave away the 9 if you're not running ubuntu with a plan9 theme *sigh*

Re: [9fans] Replacement for find

I'm surprised you can even remember find's command line options. If you need to optimize this cause you have a jillion files and think du takes too long i'd suggest creating an index of all files you have, sorted into a text file. Then you only have to use grep filename index.

Re: [9fans] Replacement for find

In Plan 9 a command is needed, that lists recursively all files. Not more and not less. The du(1) command offers too much. I do not want to list the disk usage! The command du(1) from the second edition of plan9 only has two command line options (-a and -b size), whereas du(1) from

Re: [9fans] Replacement for find

It is indeed a matter of taste and aesthetics. One reason I prefer Plan 9 is the Bell Labs aesthetics, as opposed to the so called "complete" solution aesthetic of other design philosophies which are slaves to some orthogonality or other, is the small is beautiful aesthetic. I've been using

Both of them exactly fill the gap! Thank you for all your insidefull discussions. Wolfgang > Am 30.09.2015 um 11:58 schrieb Aram Hăvărneanu : > > https://swtch.com/lsr.c > https://github.com/4ad/mgk.ro/blob/master/cmd/lsr/lsr.go > > -- > Aram Hăvărneanu >

Re: [9fans] Replacement for find

On Plan9 it should also be possible to write a virtual overlay file server where creation of a new file triggers the creation of an index entry. On linux you would use inotify for something similar.

Re: [9fans] Replacement for find

Perhaps you could optimize even more by adding a special file-listing instruction to your CPU design.

Re: [9fans] Replacement for find

Is there a C level equivalent of the BSD fts(3) suite of routines? Or even the System V ftw / GLIBC nftw suite? I suspect that having this would save some wheel-reinvention in these kinds of programs. Thanks, Arnold erik quanstrom wrote: > On Wed Sep 30 01:12:36 PDT
