pftree 1.1.8

(Python) utility to create dict representations of file system trees.

Quick Overview

• Create a dictionary representation of a filesystem hierarchy.

Overview

pftree recursively walks down an input directory tree and creates a dictionary representation of the path structure. Each tree “key” has a list of files in that corresponding directory in the filesystem.

Dependencies

The following dependencies are installed on your host system/python3 virtual env (they will also be automatically installed if pulled from pypi):

• pfmisc (various misc modules and classes for the pf* family of objects)

Installation

The best method of installing this script and all of its dependencies is by fetching it from PyPI

pip3 install pftree

Command line arguments

::

-I|–inputDir <inputDir> Input DICOM directory to examine. By default, the first file in this directory is examined for its tag information. There is an implicit assumption that each <inputDir> contains a single DICOM series.

-r|–relativeDir A flag argument. If passed (i.e. True), then the dictionary key values are taken to be relative to the <inputDir>, i.e. the key values will not contain the <inputDir>; otherwise the key values will contain the <inputDir>.

-i|–inputFile <inputFile> An optional <inputFile> specified relative to the <inputDir>. If specified, then do not perform a directory walk, but convert only this file.

[-O|–outputDir <outputDir>] The directory to contain all output files.

[–stats | –statsReverse] If specified, return some stats to caller – summary list ordered by directory size (–statsReverse does a reverse sort).

[–json] If specified, do a JSON dump of the stats.

[-x|–man] Show full help.

[-y|–synopsis] Show brief help.

-v|–verbosity <level> Set the app verbosity level.

-1: No internal output.

0: All internal output.

Examples

Run on a target tree and output some detail and stats

pftree          -I /var/www/html                \
                -O /tmp                         \
                -r                              \
                --printElapsedTime              \
                --stats -v -1 --json
