dtree

Command line program to draw trees

For installation instructions, see the file INSTALL.

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

Prerequisites

C compiler - defaults in config.redo

Optional

gzip (autodetected, for manpage compression)

Install

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

If you have djb redo:

# redo install

if you don't:

# ./do install

Persistent build configuration file

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

OpenBSD

Replace gcc in CC with cc and add -D_BSD_SOURCE, eg:

# CC='cc -g -Wall -pedantic -std=c99 -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200809L
	-D_XOPEN_SOURCE=700 -D_BSD_SOURCE}' \
	./do install

and change MANPREFIX to

MANPREFIX=$PREFIX/man
