Find largest files in directory trees

flf is a simple to use program to find the largest files in one or more directory trees.

flf, by default, shows the 10 largest files in the specified directory tree(s). If for a certain size there exists multiple files then the output would show more than 10 files.

Important: fzf doesn't check if files with the same size are hardlinks.
