Danalyze

Danalyze is a command-line tool to analyze and display directory contents with sorting and filtering options. This tool lists files in a directory and provides various options to sort the files by size, name, created date, modified date, or extension.

Features

• List files in a specified directory
• Sort files by size, name, created date, modified date, or extension
• Display file sizes in a human-readable format (bytes, KB, MB, etc.)
• Print total size of all files in the directory

Installation

Using Cargo

You can install Danalyze using Cargo, the Rust package manager. First, ensure you have Rust and Cargo installed. Then, run:

cargo install danalyze

Using binary sources

Go to the Releases page and download the binary for your platform. Extract the archive and run the binary from the command line.

Usage

After installation, you can run the application from the command line:

danalyze [OPTIONS]

Options

• -p, --path <PATH>: Path of the directory to analyze (default: ./)
• -o, --ordering <ORDERING>: Order by (size, name, created_date, modified_date, extension) (default: size)
• -d, --order-direction <ORDER_DIRECTION>: Order direction (asc, desc) (default: asc)

Examples

List files in the current directory, sorted by size in descending order:

danalyze --ordering size --order-direction desc

List files in a specific directory, sorted by name in ascending order:

danalyze --path /path/to/directory --ordering name --order-direction asc

Output

The application will output a table with the following columns:

• Name: The name of the file
• Size: The human-readable size of the file
• Created Date: The creation date of the file
• Modified Date: The last modified date of the file
• Extension: The file extension

Example output:

Path: /path/to/directory
Ordering: size (desc)
Total size: 12.34 MB
