Usage

Usage: golarge [OPTIONS] <PATH>

Look for files bigger than 1GiB from given directory path

Options:
  -o <string>     Output path (default: list.txt)
  -j      	      Enable export to JSON file
  -v      	      Display warnings & error instead of logging to file
  -t      	      Enable concurrent file processing

Examples:
  golarge /foo/bar
  golarge -v /bar
  golarge -o list.txt -j /foo/bar
  golarge -t /foo

See help

golarge -h

Search files at /foo/bar, save result to file large_files.txt.

golarge -o large_files.txt /foo/bar

Search files at /foo, save result to json format (default: list.json).

golarge -j /foo

Concurrent file processing (goroutines)

Enabling concurrent processing can greatly decrease time to result on most machines with fast storage, it could be slower on old hardware and mechanical storage. When enabled, each file is processed in an independant thread (Goroutine).

golarge -t /bar
