(Python) utility to create dict representations of file system trees.
Project description
Quick Overview
Create a dictionary representation of a filesystem hierarchy.
Optionally report some stats on the hierarchy (esp size of each directory).
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
