ls1

ls1 is a handy utility inspired by unix 'ls' for computing total sizes of subdirectories and files of given path 1 level deep written in Python 3. ls1 allows you to quickly identify large directories while being much simpler to use than 'du -h'. ls1 also allows sorting output.

Installation

Included are ls1.py and ls1 python files, they're identical except that first one is meant for Windows as it uses CRLF line terminators

On GNU/Linux or MacOS you can copy 'ls1' file to ~/bin/ or /usr/local/bin/ directory

# cp ls1 /usr/local/bin/
# chmod +x /usr/local/bin

For Windows, I included a wrapper ls1.bat batchfile allowing to launch this utility directly by simply typing 'ls1' in command prompt

cd %USERPROFILE%
md bin
copy ls1.py and ls1.bat to bin
add %USERPROFILE%\bin to PATH

you always have option of putting files into System32

Usage

$ ls1
usage: ls1 [-h] [-S] [-r] path

-S
	sort by file size, smallest first
-r, --reverse
	reverse order while sorting
