An interesting idea, but like `lsd` it also overlooked introspecton of extended file attributes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_file_attributes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_file_attributes).
Appropriate timing given the 2024 POSIX release. It's a good reminder that writing portable software isn't easy.
- arp242 2y agoI didn't overlook it, I just didn't implement it (a subtly different thing). It's mentioned in the README as a "TODO". Doing this cross-platform isn't so easy, because once you go beyond the basic traditional Unix permission bits, different systems have all sorts of different stuff. You should see what illumos ls outputs. Given that all of this is fairly rarely used on the types of machines that "elles" (or "lsd", "eza", etc.) is typically run – desktop machines, rather than servers, and that it's quite some effort to implement it well, it's not a huge priority. But I'll probably get around to it eventually.
