#!/bin/sh # @(#) tree 1.1 30/11/95 by Jordi Sanfeliu # email: mikaku@fiwix.org # # Initial version: 1.0 30/11/95 # Next version : 1.1 24/02/97 Now, with symbolic links # Patch by : Ian Kjos, to support unsearchable dirs # email: beth13@mail.utexas.edu # # Tree is a tool for view the directory tree (obvious :-) ) #
search () { for dir in `echo *` # ==> `echo *` lists all the files in current working directory, without line breaks. # ==> Similar effect to for dir in * # ==> but "dir in `echo *`" will not handle filenames with blanks. do if [ -d "$dir" ] ; then # ==> If it is a directory (-d)... zz=0 # ==> Temp variable, keeping track of directory level. while [ $zz != $deep ] # Keep track of inner nested loop. do echo -n "| " # ==> Display vertical connector symbol, # ==> with 2 spaces & no line feed in order to indent. zz=`expr $zz + 1` # ==> Increment zz. done if [ -L "$dir" ] ; then # ==> If directory is a symbolic link... echo "+---$dir" `ls -l $dir | sed 's/^.*'$dir' //'` # ==> Display horiz. connector and list directory name, but... # ==> delete date/time part of long listing. else echo "+---$dir" # ==> Display horizontal connector symbol... # ==> and print directory name. if cd "$dir" ; then # ==> If can move to subdirectory... deep=`expr $deep + 1` # ==> Increment depth. search # with recursivity ;-) # ==> Function calls itself. numdirs=`expr $numdirs + 1` # ==> Increment directory count. fi fi fi done cd .. # ==> Up one directory level. if [ "$deep" ] ; then # ==> If depth = 0 (returns TRUE)... swfi=1 # ==> set flag showing that search is done. fi deep=`expr $deep - 1` # ==> Decrement depth. }
# - Main - if [ $# = 0 ] ; then cd `pwd` # ==> No args to script, then use current working directory. else cd $1 # ==> Otherwise, move to indicated directory. fi echo "Initial directory = `pwd`" swfi=0 # ==> Search finished flag. deep=0 # ==> Depth of listing. numdirs=0 zz=0
while [ "$swfi" != 1 ] # While flag not set... do search # ==> Call function after initializing variables. done echo "Total directories = $numdirs"
exit 0 # ==> Challenge: try to figure out exactly how this script works.
