This Go program generates a directory tree in text or JSON format.
-d
: Specify the starting directory for the directory tree. The default value is.
(the current directory).-f
: Specify the output format for the directory tree. The available options aretxt
(text format) andjson
(JSON format). The default value istxt
.-p
: Print the directory tree to the console instead of writing it to a file. The default value isfalse
.
To run the program and generate a directory tree in text format, use the following command:
./dir_tree
This will create a file named dir_tree.txt
in the current directory containing the directory tree.
Here's an example of what the directory tree might look like in text format:
.
├── file1.txt
├── file2.txt
└── dir1
├── file3.txt
└── dir2
└── file4.txt
To generate a directory tree in JSON format, use the -f
option:
./dir_tree -f json
This will create a file named dir_tree.json
in the current directory containing the directory tree.
Here's an example of what the directory tree might look like in JSON format:
{
"name": ".",
"is_dir": true,
"entries": [
{
"name": "file1.txt",
"is_dir": false
},
{
"name": "file2.txt",
"is_dir": false
},
{
"name": "dir1",
"is_dir": true,
"entries": [
{
"name": "file3.txt",
"is_dir": false
},
{
"name": "dir2",
"is_dir": true,
"entries": [
{
"name": "file4.txt",
"is_dir": false
}
]
}
]
}
]
}
To print the directory tree to the console instead of writing it to a file, use the -p
option:
./dir_tree -p
This will print the directory tree to the console in text format.
To specify a different starting directory for the directory tree, use the -d
option:
./dir_tree -d /path/to/directory
This will generate a directory tree starting from the specified directory.
To generate a directory tree for the current directory and output it in text format, you would run the following command:
./dir_tree
This would create a file named dir_tree.txt
in the current directory containing the directory tree in text format.
To generate a directory tree for the /home/user/documents
directory and output it in text format, you would run the following command:
./dir_tree -d /home/user/documents
This would create a file named dir_tree.txt
in the current directory containing the directory tree for the /home/user/documents
directory in text format.
To generate a directory tree for the /home/user/documents
directory and output it in JSON format, you would run the following command:
./dir_tree -d /home/user/documents -f json
This would create a file named dir_tree.json
in the current directory containing the directory tree for the /home/user/documents
directory in JSON format.
To print a directory tree for the current directory to the console, you would run the following command:
./dir_tree -p
This would print the current directory tree to the console.
To print a directory tree for the /home/user/documents
directory to the console, you would run the following command:
./dir_tree -d /home/user/documents -p
This would print the /home/user/documents
directory tree to the console.
