treeview

A simple commandline tool that displays a directory structure as a pretty tree.

Example

This example displays the SQLite3 source tree. cd into the directory containing sqlite and run

python3 treeview.py -n 10 ./sqlite

We see as our output:

As shown above, the number of entries printed in each directory has been limited to 10 using the -n option.

Similarly, we can specify the number of levels to show using the -L option. We write:

python3 treeview.py -n 10 -L 2 ./sqlite

This causes the first two levels to be printed:

Tests

To run the tests, cd into test and run

bash test.sh

The script will create an example directory tree and run treeview on it with different arguments, diffing the results with hand-typed trees from test/answers. If a test fails, its name and the location of its diff output will be reported.
