Description

Cross platform list directory Unix utility written in Go, Compatiblity with GNU ls. See https://tekao.net/posts/ls.

Why?

This uses the SIndex https://github.com/timob/sindex slice indexing library to handle lists of options, file arguments, directory lists. So really a use case for that library. IMHO it makes programming lists using iterators, insert, deleting and appending much easier.

Todo

• Add other GNU ls options.
• Fix terminal detection.
