NAME

dtree - display directory tree structures  

SYNOPSIS

dtree [ -adfgHlnpsvx ] [ -c linelength ] [ directory... ]  

DESCRIPTION

dtree displays a graphic representation of the directory structure of each given directory and its children. If no directories are specified, the current directory is used. By default, only directories, not regular files, are shown, and only their filenames are given. Various options add additional information to the tree.  

OPTIONS

-a
Include files in the listing (excluding entries beginning with '.').
-c linelength
Make linelength the length of each column of the printout. By default, this is 14. Any entries longer than the column length are truncated accordingly, and the last character that fits into the column is replaced by an asterisk. This option only has an effect if the -v option is specified.
-d
List directories first. For each directory, its subdirectories will be listed first, and then all of its other entries.
-f
List files first. The reverse of -d.
-l
Long listing. Display useful information to the right of each entry: the name of the file's owner, its size in blocks, and its mode.
-g
Same as the -l option, except that the group name is used instead of the owner name. If both the -l and -g options are used, both the owner and group will be displayed.
-H
Display a header at the top of the printout that gives the time and date that the printout was made and a summary of the type of information contained in the tree.
-n
No sort. Entries are listed in the order they are read from the directories.
-p
Include entries beginning with '.' (except '.' and '..').
-s
Simplify the long listing: display the user id, size in blocks, and octal mode of the file. This option implies the -l option unless the -g option is specified.
-v
Do not let column lengths vary; use the same width for each column of output. The width defaults to 14 but can be set with the -c option.
-x
Do not cross file systems. dtree will not cross over to a subdirectory if it is on a different file system.
