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.
