This is a nice little commandline tool to see what is in your directories.

Code: Select all

# ls
tree-1.5.2.2  tree-1.5.2.2.pet  tree_DOC-1.5.2.2  tree_DOC-1.5.2.2.pet
# tree
.
|-- tree-1.5.2.2
|   `-- usr
|       `-- bin
|           `-- tree
|-- tree-1.5.2.2.pet
|-- tree_DOC-1.5.2.2
|   `-- usr
|       `-- man
|           `-- man1
|               `-- tree.1
`-- tree_DOC-1.5.2.2.pet

7 directories, 4 files

If you use the -C option, it will be in color like ls. You can add an alias to /etc/profile.local or ~/.bashrc to make that default behavior:

Code: Select all

echo 'alias tree="tree -C"' >> ~/.bashrc

This was compiled by just running make with the Makefile that was included in the source package (the author did not include a ./configure script). I didn't alter anything.

What does the second (DOC) .pet do? When I installed it, it said there's no menu entry. I can't find it. What's it for?

DOC = documentation => man page.

If you look closely at my example above, the directories it's looking at are actually the expanded versions of the two packages, so that you can see exactly what is installed.

It is like write something like this ???

Code: Select all

ls -laR > list.txt

No, tree lists the directory contents like so.
