     LF(1): list files
     __________________________________________________

     USAGE

         usage: lf [-Dgu] {file}
             -D: debug
             -g: get contents
             -u: unix IO

     DESCRIPTION

      Lf lists files into standard output. This means  that  lf  sends
     their  directory  entries  to  the standard output channel. Under
     flag -g it sends not just the file metadata, but  also  the  file
     data.  Further commands in the command line pipe-line may be used
     to actually print the listed files in the desired format,  or  to
     apply any other operation to them.

     EXAMPLES

     List files in the home directory:

         ; lf $home,1 | pf
         /zx/usr/nemo
         /zx/usr/nemo/acme
         /zx/usr/nemo/bin
         ...

     Or

         ; lf -u $home,1

     Long listing:

         ; lf | pf -l

     Copy all files at /tmp:

         ; lf -g , | pf -o /tmp -w

     List all files with names ending in .go at the tree where we are:

         lf -u ,~*.go

     List all files in /bin or /cin with names starting with zx:

         lf '/,path~/[bc]in/zx*' | pf

     SOURCE

     +o    /zx/sys/src/clive/cmd/lf
