.TH WALK 1 .SH NAME walk \- walk a path .SH SYNOPSIS .B walk [ .B -dftxu ] [ .B -n .I mind,maxd ] [ .B -e .I statfmt ] [ .I name ... ] .SH DESCRIPTION .I Walk recursively descends any directory arguments, printing the name of each file on a separate line. When no arguments are given, the working directory is assumed. Non-directory arguments are checked for existence, then printed, if so. .PP Options are: .TP .B -d Print only directories. .TP .B -f Print only non-directories. .TP .B -t Print a file only if it has the temporary flag set. .TP .B -x Print a file only if it has any executable bits set. .TP .B -u Unbuffered output. .TP .B -n min,max Set the inclusive range of depths for filtering in results. Both .I min and .I max are optional. .TP .B -e statfmt Setting the statfmt string allows specifying the data .I walk should print. It takes a string of characters, each corresponding to some piece of information about the file being traversed, and prints them separated by spaces. .PP The statfmt characters are as follows: .TF . .TP .B U owner name (uid) .TP .B G group name (gid) .TP .B M name of last user to modify (muid) .TP .B a last access time (atime) .TP .B m last modification time (mtime) .TP .B n final path element (name) .TP .B p path .TP .B q qid path.version.type (see .IR stat (2)) .TP .B s size in bytes .TP .B x permissions .TP .B D server device .TP .B T server type (kernel device rune) .PD .PP The default statfmt is simply, .IR p . .SH EXAMPLES List files in a directory, sorted by modification time. .IP .EX walk -femp catpics | sort -n | sed 's/^[^ ]+ //' .EE .PP Print the size and path of files (excluding dirs) in the working directory. .IP .EX walk -fn1 -esp .EE .PD .SH SOURCE .B /sys/src/cmd/walk.c .SH SEE ALSO .IR ls (1), .IR du (1) .SH BUGS Statfmt character `x' displays permissions as an integer. .PP Manipulating ifs is a nuisance. .PP File names are assumed to not contain newlines. .PP Correct invocation requires too much thought. .SH HISTORY .I Walk first appeared in 9front (March, 2019).
