💅 lfm — Last File Manager 💅

okay bestie, gather round, because lfm is literally the powerful file manager for the UNIX console and she is serving main character energy from a terminal near you. yes, this is lfm(1), the manual page, and yes we're doing this together. grab a snack. 🍓

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

lfm [-h] [-d] [-w] [--restore-config] [--restore-keys] [--restore-theme]
[--delete-history] [path1] [path2]

that's the whole vibe check. flags first, paths after, no notes. 💖

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so, Last File Manager is a powerful file manager for the UNIX console. it has a curses interface (yes, the old-school terminal UI thing, and no, it did not come to play) and it's written in Python v3.4+. that's the whole pitch. she's cute, she's capable, she lives in your terminal. periodt. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

every single one, no skipping, i would never do that to you:

  • -h, --help — shows you the help and then dips. bye! ✨
  • -d, --debug — turns on debug level in the log file. for when you need the receipts.
  • -w, --use-wide-chars — enables support for wide chars. your emoji-adjacent characters say thank you. 🫶
  • --restore-config — restores the default configuration. factory reset but make it config-only.
  • --restore-keys — restores the default key bindings. all your custom key drama? gone. fresh start. 💅
  • --restore-theme — restores the default theme. back to the original lewk.
  • --delete-history — deletes history. what history? exactly. 🙈
  • [path1] — the path to show in the left pane (default: ".", aka the current directory).
  • [path2] — the path to show in the right pane (default: ".", aka the current directory).
two panes, two paths, twice the slay. if you don't pass them, both just default to ".". iykyk. 🌈
