Hi guys,
I came up with a utility[0] that i think could be useful, and I sent
it to the moreutils page, but maybe it might fit better here. All it
does is give a count of files in a directory.
I was sick of ls | wc -l being so damned slow on large directories, so
I thought a more direct solution would be better.
calvin_AT_ecoli:~/big_folder> time ls file2v1dir/ | wc -l
687560
real 0m7.798s
user 0m7.317s
sys 0m0.700s
calvin_AT_ecoli:~/big_folder> time ~/bin/dc file2v1dir/
687560
real 0m0.138s
user 0m0.057s
sys 0m0.081s
What do you think?
Calvin
