vlnx / fcount

Counts files, folders and symbolic links in a directory.

fcount - File, folder and symbolic link counter

Building

Build with

cargo build --release

And the executable will be in target/release/fcount.

Usage

fcount [FLAGS] <directory>

(Arguments can be in any order.)

And it should output:

Files: x
Folders: y
Symbolic Links: z

Flags include:

Flag	Description
-h, --help	Displays help.
-f	Do not count files.
-d	Do not count folders.
-s	Do not count symbolic links.
-n	Show numbers only, seperated by lines, in order: files, folders, symbolic links.
-r	Traverse recursively (count in sub folders, and sub folders of sub folders...).
-V, --version	Displays version information.

All counts are enabled as default, as I figured most people want all counts most of the time.

Flags can be chained together (unless verbose like --help), like this: -rsd, or done seperately: -r -s -d.

Examples

Traverse '/my/directory' recursively and do not count symbolic links:

fcount -rs /my/directory

Output:

Files: x
Folders: y

Count all files, folders and symbolic links in this folder, without traversing sub folders:

fcount /my/directory

Output:

Files: x
Folders: y
Symbolic Links: z

Count all files and folders, without displaying

fcount -rns /my/directory

Output:

x
y
