LSMAC(1)

📦 version 2.0.0.alpha20140727b, in nixos 26.05

💖 LSMAC(1) — like, the lsmac.pl manual, bestie 💖

okay so real talk, this is a User Contributed Perl Documentation page for lsmac.pl, and it's about to be your new fave little tool, no cap ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

lsmac.pl — it lists directories with file mtimes, atimes and ctimes. all three, bestie. we're eating good 🍓

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

lsmac.pl [options] [{file|directory} [...]]
lsmac.pl --help   or   lsmac.pl -h
lsmac.pl --man

like, yes, you can totally throw files and directories at it at the same time 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -h, --help — prints this short help. the "help me help you" of flags 🫶
  • -l, --local — prints times in your local time zone rather than GMT. your clock, your rules ⭐
  • -d, --directory — prints the directories' own times rather than descending into them. like, stay outside the house, don't go snooping in the rooms 🙈
  • --man — prints the manual page. hi, you're reading it 💀

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so for each directory you hand it on the command line, lsmac.pl will list out that directory's contents, with the ctime, mtime and atime for every single entry in there. main character energy for every file, honestly 👑

the columns go in this exact order, periodt:

  1. ctime
  2. mtime
  3. atime
  4. number of links
  5. size
  6. file name

and if you give it no directory at all? it just processes the current directory. lowkey obsessed with the initiative 💜

💀 BUGS 💀

okay, ngl, this is my favourite part. unfortunately the program's name suggests the times are in the order mtime, atime, ctime, but they are actually in ctime, mtime, atime instead. so the name is lying to you, bestie. the name is not your friend. the vibe check failed 😭

fr fr, just remember: ctime → mtime → atime. the name ≠ the order. iykyk 💅
