The dtree command displays a graphic representation of the directory
structure of a given directory and its children. If no directories
are specified, the current directory is used. By default, only
directories, not regular files, are shown, and only if their filenames
are given. File systems on The World can be very large and as a result,
dtree may not be an effective way of listing these areas.
For example:
world% dtree
|-classwork---
|-News--------
|-stans-|-games-------
|-mail--------
|-public_html
Using the -a option will include files contained in the directory tree:
world% dtree -a
Use the -d flag to list directories first in the output, files will
appear lower in the list, beneath the directory and its subdirectories:
world% dtree -d
Use the -f flag to list files first, ahead of directories and subdirectories
in the list:
world% dtree -f
Use the -c linelength option to truncate the linelength of each entry
to less than the default of 14 characters. For example, to limit the
linelength to eight characters, use:
world% dtree -c 8
Use the -l flag to obtain a long listing of useful information for each
entry on the list: the file owner, file size, and mode.
world% dtree -l
Use the -x flag to limit dtree to the current file system. It will not
cross over to a subdirectory if it resides on a different filesystem:
world% dtree -x
