This program is one of the larger examples from my x86-64 Linux Zig library. The default configuration of this program will pretty print file system information to standard output in a recursive tree structure.

There are a few build options and runtime flags which alter the appearance of the output.

The build options are global constants in src/main.zig, after a commented line // Config:.

Runtime flags are given to allow switching from the default behaviour. These can be listed with treez --help.

Basic tree:

Pretty tree: use_wide_arrows = true

No colour: colour_default = true and --no-colour or colour_default = false

Plain mode: print_plain = true

git clone --recursive "https://github.com/amp-59/treez" treez;
cd treez;
zig build --build-runner zig_lib/build_runner.zig treez;

./zig_lib/support/switch_build_runner.sh;

Running the script switch_build_runner.sh will move the existing standard library build runner to a backup location in the Zig install directory and create a symbolic link to my Zig library's build runner.

Running the script a second time will remove this symbolic link and restore the standard library build runner. In case the script is run consecutively from two different repositories, the existing symbolic link will be removed and replaced with a symbolic link to the build runner in the second repository.
