fli - Tiny no_std Rust ls alternative with emoji icons
Show HN: 18KB ls alternative in no_std rust and Libc
fli is a lightweight command-line tool designed to list directory contents with enhanced readability using emojis instead of traditional color codes. Built in Rust with a no_std and Libc approach, it achieves an incredibly small binary size of just 18KB on Raspberry Pi Zero W, making it perfect for resource-constrained environments. The tool streams directory entries directly without heap allocation, offering performance that significantly outpaces the standard ls command. With support for various sorting options and flexible output formats, fli provides a fast, clear, and efficient alternative for developers managing files via SSH or on embedded systems.
"Thus fli is a tiny (18KB), easy to read file listing tool."
