ls

An implementation of the ls command, in Rust.

Using it

To build the project, execute the following command:

cargo build

Once built, move the executable to the root of the directory.

mv ./target/debug/ls .

Afterwards, you can find the executable in the ./target/debug/ folder, and use it as you wish:

./ls <parameters> <arguments>

Here are a few command examples:

./ls -lraRt .
./ls -lr <first file> <second file>
./ls -aR this_file_does_not_exist

Notes

• The following parameters are supported: -a, -l, -r, -t and -R.
• Only tested on MacOS.
• The output should look exactly like the actual command's output looks like, with a couple (very) minor differences.
• This is not meant to be used in production, but should normally work as intended (at least according to the testing that was made).
• Each function has a comment explaining its use.
• The focus is on short and modular functions, to avoid spaghetti code.
