About:
Lr is a versatile command-line utility that combines functionality from ls, find, stat, and du. It generates formatted file lists with detailed metadata like permissions, ownership, and size. The tool excels at recursive directory traversal with customizable output formatting and filtering capabilities.
Key Features:
  • Recursive directory traversal with customizable depth
  • Formatted output with file metadata (permissions, size, timestamps)
  • Flexible filtering and sorting options
  • Human-readable file sizes and timestamps
  • POSIX-compatible for cross-platform use
Use Cases:
  • Generating detailed file inventories for system audits
  • Finding and analyzing large files or directories consuming disk space
  • Creating formatted file lists for documentation or reporting
  • Quickly identifying file ownership and permission issues
Alternatives:
  • ls – Basic listing, lacks advanced filtering and metadata formatting
  • find – More complex syntax, focused on search rather than formatted output
  • ncdu – Interactive disk usage analyzer, heavier dependency
