Accelerated Folder Sizing with Finder Cache in Rust and Objective C

Overview

dx leverages the macOS Finder cache to rapidly compute folder sizes. Built in Rust, this utility integrates Objective C AppleScript via Foreign Function Interface (FFI), offering a significant performance boost. Experience folder sizing at speeds up to 20x faster than traditional methods like du -sh.

Features

• Efficient Sizing: Utilizes macOS Finder cache for ultra-fast folder size computation.
• Rust and Objective C Integration: Seamlessly integrates Rust with Objective C AppleScript using FFI.
• Performance: Outperforms du -sh by up to 20x in speed.
• User-Friendly Defaults: Provides more intuitive defaults compared to traditional methods.

Installation

cargo install dx-cli

Usage

sane defaults:

• dx dir is equivalent to du -sh dir
• dx dir -l functions like du -h dir
