Dirinfo

dirinfo is a simple command-line tool written in Rust that provides information about the number of files in a specified directory. If no directory path is provided, it defaults to analyzing the current directory.

Features

• Accepts a directory path as input and returns the number of files within it.
• Defaults to the current directory if no path is provided.
• Efficiently handles directory traversal.

Installation

To install the tool, you need to have Rust installed on your system. Once Rust is installed, you can build the tool using cargo:

# Clone the repository
$ git clone https://github.com/BalaBoi/dirinfo

# Navigate into the project directory
$ cd dirinfo

# Install the tool
$ cargo install --path .

# Check the tool is installed
$ dirinfo --help

Usage

Run the dirinfo command with or without a directory path:

Examples

1. Analyze the current directory:

   $ dirinfo
   Number of files: 42

2. Analyze a specific directory:

   $ dirinfo /path/to/directory
   Number of files: 128

Future Enhancements

• Calculate the total size of files in the directory.
• Provide detailed statistics (e.g., file types, subdirectory counts).
• Add recursive or non-recursive options.
