dtree

Command line program to draw trees

For installation instructions, see the file INSTALL.

INSTALL

Manual

See https://strahinja.srht.site/man/dtree/dtree.1.html.

https://strahinja.srht.site/man/dtree/dtree.1.html

Examples

Format a tree using double-stroke box drawing characters:

printf "A\n\tB\n\t\tC\n\tD\n" | dtree -sd

tree(1) replacement:

find . -print | sed -E "s,[^/]+/,$(printf '\t'),g" | dtree

same, using ASCII characters:

find . -print | sed -E "s,[^/]+/,$(printf '\t'),g" | dtree -sa

poor man's findmnt(1) (depends on having /proc/mounts active):

sort -k2 /proc/mounts |
awk '{				# pp = previous pointer
	sl = $2;
	gsub("[^/]", "", sl);
	slashc = length(sl);	# slash count
	if ($2 != "/" &&
		slashc > prevsc[pp] &&
		substr($2,0,length(prev[pp])) == prev[pp])
	{
		for (i = 0; i < pp+1; i++)
			printf "\t";
		pp++;
	}
	else if ($2 != "/")
	{
		if (slashc < prevsc[pp] &&
			substr($2,0,length(prev[pp-1])) != prev[pp-1])
			pp--;
		for (i = 0; i < pp; i++)
			printf "\t";
	}
	print $2;
	prev[pp] = $2;		# previous mountpoint
	prevsc[pp] = slashc;	# previous slash count
}' |

Prerequisites

C compiler - defaults in config.mk

Install

$ git clone https://git.sr.ht/~strahinja/dtree
$ cd dtree
$ su
# make install

With got:

got

$ got clone https://git.sr.ht/~strahinja/dtree
$ got checkout dtree.git
$ cd dtree
$ su
# make install

Persistent build configuration file

The file config.mk will be sourced when building targets which also accept configuration through environment variables. For example, CPPFLAGS and PREFIX are specified in config.mk.

OpenBSD

Before running make(1), comment the CPPFLAGS definition in config.mk above the line with the “OpenBSD” comment and uncomment the one below it:

#CPPFLAGS	= -D_DEFAULT_SOURCE -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200809L \
#		  -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=700
# OpenBSD
CPPFLAGS	= -D_DEFAULT_SOURCE -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200809L \
		  -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=700 -D_BSD_SOURCE

Also, do the same for MANPREFIX:

#MANPREFIX	= $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/share/man
# OpenBSD
MANPREFIX	= $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/man

Install (Arch)

$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/dtree.git
$ cd dtree
$ makepkg -si
