ls++
A highly customizable, colorized file listing tool that extends GNU ls with configurable views and syntax highlighting.
What is ls++?
ls++ is a Perl-based command-line utility that extends the standard GNU ls command with advanced colorization, customizable output views, and enhanced file metadata display. It solves the problem of inflexible ls output by allowing users to configure exactly how file information is presented, with syntax highlighting and relative timestamps for better readability.
System administrators, developers, and power users who frequently work in the terminal and want more control and visual clarity when listing directory contents. Particularly useful for those managing complex directory structures or preferring customized workflow tools.
Developers choose ls++ over standard ls because it offers unprecedented customization of output formatting while maintaining full compatibility with ls flags. Its colorization and relative timestamp features provide immediate visual context that standard ls lacks, making file management more efficient.
