About:
fsql is a command-line interface tool that allows users to search the filesystem using SQL-like syntax. It translates SELECT queries into file system operations, enabling complex searches based on file names, attributes, and content. This provides a more intuitive and powerful alternative to traditional tools like find or grep for users familiar with SQL.
Key Features:
  • SQL-like query syntax for file searching
  • Supports searching by name, extension, size, and modification time
  • Ability to search file contents using regular expressions
  • Colorized output for better readability
  • Cross-platform support (Linux, macOS, Windows)
Use Cases:
  • Finding all JPEG images larger than 5MB modified in the last month
  • Locating configuration files across the system for cleanup
  • Searching for specific text patterns within source code files
Alternatives:
  • find – Standard Unix tool; more powerful for complex logic but uses less intuitive syntax.
  • fd – Modern alternative to find; faster and easier to use but lacks SQL syntax.
  • grep – Content search specialist; fsql integrates content search with file metadata queries.
