lstree – ls in tree form

lstree is a small command-line utility that displays directory contents in a hierarchical tree. It uses ls to obtain directory listings and adds branching characters to illustrate the relationships between files and subdirectories.

The program preserves ls-style colour output, identifies directories and symbolic links, and can display one or more requested directory trees.

This is free and open source software.

Key Features

  • Displays recursively nested files and directories in a tree layout.
  • Uses ls for directory listings and colourized output.
  • Displays symbolic link targets.
  • Supports listing multiple specified directories.
  • Uses Unicode branching characters to show directory relationships.
