My own implementation of a infamous famous ls UNIX utility, which lists files and their respective directories.
To get the executable ft_ls, simply run make
usage: ./ft_ls [-AGRadefgilprstu1@] [file ...]
Program's behaviour is almost identical to ls, only lacking some of the flags.
And, I gotta say, original ls does have some juicy fucntionality hidden up its sleeve, so
man ls
In order to get an optimal time while recursively sorting directories and files in them
I implemented quicksort, which was a bit of a tricky part given different parameters
of sorting are possible.
Besides, I've done a locale switch when printing time in -l mode by reading environment variable.
Very simple, but fancy😏
Yep, there's also pretty neat moment of printing block & char devices
For instance, when you launch ./ft_ls -laG /dev, you get interesting stuff going on
with some of the files marked with c or b. To learn more about it, I recommend googling
