[b]etter [f]ile [i]nfo

Print a configurable list of info about a file or directory

Wrapper around (and thus requires):

• readlink
• file
• du
• wc
• stat

Usage

Option 1 Use a default config that prints all information about a file:

bfi some_file --all

Option 2 Using a custom config file:

bfi some_file

Creating a custom config file:

• Create a config file at /home/user/.config/bfi/config.json
• Ex config with all available options used:

{
  "include": {
    "general": ["type", "path"],
    "permissions": ["permissions", "owner", "group"],
    "metadata": ["device", "inode", "links"],
    "size": ["B", "KB", "MB", "GB", "TB"], 
    "count": ["lines", "words", "blocks"],
    "access": ["read", "modified", "changed", "birth"]
  }
}
