Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
Tree for C++17
This is a C++17 implementation of the GNU tree utility, making use of the new filesystem header in the C++17 standard library.
This project will make no effort to port the original C code over; instead this project aims to re-implement similar, if not identical, functionality from scratch.
Changelog
Version 0.2.0
- Added line that prints the number of directories and files.
- Simplified recursion logic a little.
Building
Use CMake (>= 3.7) to configure the project, then use the compiler or IDE of your choice to build it.
The source code should compile with any C++17 compatible compiler.
To-Do
- Implement colored output (Decide color scheme?)
- No support for multibyte characters in filenames yet (Will crash)
- Find a getopt replacement
License
GPLv3
FAQ
1. Why?
I wanted to try out filesystem and string_view in C++17.
I also needed the scratch the itch where Windows does not have an up-to-date version of tree.
2. Will you add support for the same features as the GNU tree utility?
If I have time, eventually. Pull requests are welcome.
However, I also hope to keep the source code simple.
3. Why GPLv3?
In the spirit of the original GNU utilities.
