Rust-ls

Linux ls Command Implementation in Rust

This project aims to recreate the familiar ls command found in Linux using the Rust programming language. The goal is to provide a feature-rich and efficient alternative to the standard ls command while leveraging the power and safety of Rust.

Features

• 📂 Directory listing: Display file and directory names in a specified directory.
• ⚠️ Error handling : Provide meaningful error messages and handle exceptional cases gracefully.

Feature To Be Added

• 🎨 Color-coded output: Enhance readability and visual appeal by using colors to differentiate file types.
• 🗃️ Sorting options: Sort files and directories based on various criteria such as name, size, or modification time.
• 🏁 Command-line flags: Support different options and flags to customize the behavior of the ls command.
• 📚️ Documentation: Thoroughly document the code to aid maintainability and future contributions.
• 🚀 Performance optimization: Optimize the implementation for efficient execution, even with large directory structures.

Getting Started

To get started with the project, follow these steps:

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/truthixify/rust-ls.git

cd ls-rust

Build the project using Cargo:

cargo build

Run the ls command:

cargo run [directory_path]

Replace directory_path with the path of the directory you want to list. If no directory is specified, the current directory will be used.

Explore the available command-line options and flags:

cargo run --help
