MagicHatJo / -42-ft_ls

Recreation of the command line tool "ls", in accordance with 42 norms and standards.

[42] ft_ls

The first project in the Unix branch at 42. Minimum requirements are to recode the functionality of "ls" with 5 flags: -l -a -r -t -R. I handle a few extra flags, as well as small QoL additions, including color and ACL management. Column management is handled by finding the longest file name, and using that as the base width for all files.

Possible Optimization

The official ls on macs, at the time of this writing, utilizes 38 flags. Adding more flags for a more complete recreation would be the next step.

Final Score

119/100 (Why is the max bonus score not 125 like every other project?? :<)
