lsWsee

lsWsee is a command-line utility designed for the Unix and Unix-like operating systems. It is a variant of the traditional ls command, which is used to list directory contents. The "Wsee" in lsWsee stands for "Wide, Sort by Extension, and Show Everything," reflecting its enhanced functionality compared to the standard ls command.

The lsWsee command provides several additional features that make it more user-friendly and versatile. It lists files and directories in a wide format, which means it displays multiple columns of information instead of a single column. This format is particularly useful for quickly scanning large directories. Additionally, lsWsee sorts the files by their extensions, grouping files with the same extension together. This can be helpful for organizing and identifying files based on their types.

Another notable feature of lsWsee is its ability to show hidden files and directories. By default, the ls command does not display files that start with a dot (.), as these are typically hidden system files. lsWsee includes an option to display these hidden files, providing a more comprehensive view of the directory contents.

lsWsee is particularly useful for users who frequently work with large directories containing many files and need a quick and organized way to view their contents. Its enhanced sorting and display options make it a valuable tool for both novice and experienced users. However, it is important to note that lsWsee may not be available on all Unix-like systems, as it is not a standard command and may need to be installed separately.
