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.
