NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

or for human beings.
OPTIONS
-B, --bg COLOR

-D, --date

-i, --ignore-case
Case-insensitive directory sorting
-I, --indent N

-m, --merge
Merge identical directories
Basedirs with identical names are merged. This Means that all their subdirs are considered being subdirs of a single directory, and
therefore sorted and displayed together. If there are duplicate names among the subdirs then those are also merged.
-o, --output STRING
Set output format to STRING
Anything enclosed by brackets is considered a field. A field must have the following syntax:
[TAG]
[TAG,WIDTH]
[TAG,WIDTH,SUFFIX]
[TAG,SUFFIX]
TAG is any of the following characters:
a list of bitrates in Audiolist compatible format
b bitrate with suffix (i.e. 192k)
B bitrate in bps
d depth; distance from respective basedir
f number of audio files (including spacers)
l length in minutes and seconds
L length in seconds
m time of last change
M time of last change in seconds since the epoch
n directory name (indented)
N directory name
p profile
P full path
q quality
s size with suffix (i.e. 65.4M)
S size in bytes
t file type
T bitrate type:
~ mixed files
C constant bitrate
L lossless compression
V variable bitrate
WIDTH defines the exact width of the field. The output is cropped to this width if needed. Negative values will give left
aligned output. Cropping is always done on the right.
SUFFIX lets you specify a unit to be concatenated to all non-empty data.
Other interpreted sequences are:
[ [
] ]
new line
tab character
Unescaped brackets are forbidden unless they define a field.
Note: If you have any whitespace in your output string you must put it inside quotes or otherwise it will not get parsed
right.
-q, --quiet
Omit progress indication
-s, --strip
Strip output of field headers and empty directories
-S, --stats
Display statistics results
-t, --time
Display elapsed time footer
-T, --text COLOR
