fcnt is a file counter used in command line.
It can quickly count the number and size of huge amount of files in multiple directories through multi-threading.
$ fcnt [OPTIONS] [DIRECTORIES]...
-
Arguments:
[DIRECTORIES]... The directories (default: ./)
-
Options:
-a Count all regular and hidden files -d Count the number of directories -o <ORDER_BY> The value to sort the results. Possible values: [n]ame, [f]ile, [d]ir, [s]ize. -r <PATTERN> Match entries using regex (only matche filenames) -R Non-recursive mode (files in sub-directories will be ignored) -s Count the total size of files -t <TOP> The number of threads for traversal (invalid in `non_recursive` mode) -T <THREAD_NUM> The number of threads for traversal (invalid in `non_recursive` mode) -v Verbose mode, open this option will display the found entries -h, --help Print help (see more with '--help') -V, --version Print version
By default, only the number of sub-files in each directory is included in the result.
$ fcnt ./Pictures ./Movies ./Music
Path Files
./Pictures/ 3090
./Movies/ 1658
./Music/ 3606

You can use the -d
option to show the number of subdirectories and the -s
option to show the size of each directory.
$ fcnt -d -s ./Pictures ./Music ./src/package
Path Files Dirs Size
./Pictures/ 3090 37 18.1G
./Music/ 3606 1285 21.8G
./src/package/ 10458 3463 4.6G

Total 17154 4785 44.6G
The -r
option can be used to filter files by regex and the -o
option sorts the results in descending order on the specified column.
# Count the number of ".py" files in each subdirectory of "src" and sort by files.
$ fcnt -r '\.py$' -o f src/*
