exa is a replacement for ls written in Rust.
- -a, --all: show dot files
- -b, --binary: use binary (power of two) file sizes
- -g, --group: show group as well as user
- -h, --header: show a header row
- -i, --inode: show inode number column
- -l, --links: show number of hard links column
- -r, --reverse: reverse sort order
- -s, --sort=(name, size, ext): field to sort by
- -S, --blocks: show number of file system blocks
exa is written in Rust. It compiles with Rust 0.11, the latest version - 0.10 will not do, as there have been too many breaking changes since. You will also need Cargo, the Rust package manager. Once you have them both set up, a simple cargo build will pull in all the dependencies and compile exa.
