Ben S 69b22a0d66 Print xattrs in tree view like we do errors 
This changes the way extended attributes (xattrs) are printed. Before, they were artificially printed out on their own line both in lines mode *and* details mode, which looked a bit weird. Now, they are additional 'child nodes' of that item that get printed alongside errors.

All this allows all the 'extra info' that is going to be present for very few entries to be consolidated and listed in the same way, without resorting to extra printlns.

As a great side-effect, it allows taking out some of the more redundant code in the Table impl -- it is now *always* going to be in create-child-nodes mode, as *any* file now can, not only when we have the --tree flag in use.

Also, it now actually displays errors when failing to read the extended attributes, such as if the user doesn't have permission to read them.

The extended attribute flag has been temporarily disabled while I work out the best way to do it!

README.md

exa Build status

exa is a replacement for ls written in Rust.

You'll have to use the nightly, rather than Rust 1.0 stable or 1.1 beta. Sorry about that.

Options

exa's options are similar, but not exactly the same, as ls.

Filtering Options

  • -a, --all: show dot files
  • -d, --list-dirs: list directories as regular files
  • --group-directories-first: list directories before other files
  • -L, --level=(depth): maximum depth of recursion
  • -R, --recurse: recurse into subdirectories

View Options

  • -1, --oneline: display one entry per line
  • -r, --reverse: reverse sort order
  • -s, --sort=(field): field to sort by
  • -x, --across: sort multi-column view entries across
  • -T, --tree: recurse into subdirectories in a tree view

You can sort by name, size, ext, inode, modified, created, accessed, or none.

Long Format

  • -b, --binary: use binary (power of two) file sizes
  • -B, --bytes: list file sizes in bytes, without prefixes
  • -g, --group: show group as well as user
  • --git: show git status (depends on libgit2, see below)
  • -h, --header: show a header row
  • -H, --links: show number of hard links column
  • -i, --inode: show inode number column
  • -l, --long: display extended details and attributes
  • -m, --modified: display timestamp of most recent modification
  • -S, --blocks: show number of file system blocks
  • -t, --time=(field): which timestamp to show for a file
  • -u, --accessed: display timestamp of last access for a file
  • -U, --created: display timestamp of creation of a file
  • -@, --extended: display extended attribute keys and sizes

Installation

exa is written in Rust. You'll have to use the nightly -- I try to keep it up to date with the latest version when possible. Once you have it set up, a simple make install will compile exa and install it into /usr/local/bin.

exa depends on libgit2 for certain features. If you're unable to compile libgit2, you can opt out of Git support by passing --no-default-features to Cargo.
