Ben S a250f21282 Coalesce platform-specific xattr modules 
Now we have one Ur-module that contains functionality common to both supported platforms.

The benefits of doing it this way are that:

1. It doesn't implement a dummy interface - rather, there will be less code generated when the feature is not present;
2. The code shared between them can be kept in sync. The other two modules were something like 80% the same.

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.
