About:
Fselect is a command-line tool that allows users to search for files and directories using SQL-like queries. It provides a powerful and intuitive syntax for filtering results based on file attributes like name, size, type, and modification date. This tool offers a more expressive alternative to traditional find commands for complex file system searches.
Key Features:
  • SQL-like query syntax for file searching
  • Support for filtering by metadata (size, time, type, permissions)
  • Output formatting options including JSON and CSV
  • Fast traversal of directory trees
Use Cases:
  • Finding all files larger than 100MB in a specific directory
  • Listing all images modified in the last week
  • Searching for configuration files across a project
Alternatives:
  • find – Standard Unix tool, uses expression flags rather than SQL syntax
  • fd – Simpler syntax than find, but lacks SQL-like query capabilities
