                                                                                                         NcdT(1)

NcdT  uses  quite  a  lot  of  memory.  It's  also  not  very  fast, but on a decent CPU it should not be
       noticeable.

       There are no real bugs I'm aware of. I don't think there are any now.

ncdt  is  a  small  utility  for  printing  directory trees. It has some additional features not found in
       tree(1). Additional capabilities are:

       -      size field for directories displays the summary size of directory subtree instead of the  size  of
              the special file (which is somewhat more useful)

       -      sizes are displayed in a more readable format (that's a minor improvement, but it helps a little)

       -      MP3  files are detected; additional info is displayed for them (which is probably the nicest thing
              about NcdT) The info is displayed in a compact form, like <2:53v168JR+> where 2:53 is play  time,
              v  (if  present)  means  the  file  is  encoded using VBR, 168 is bitrate (average bitrate for VBR
              files), J describes channel encoding (Mono, Stereo, Joint-Stereo, Dual channel),  R  (if  present)
              means  the  file  has  a RIFF header at the beginning, + (if present) means the file has ID3v2 tag
              attached - (if present) means there's no ID3 tag at all (none of these means  there's  only  ID3v1
              tag present).

       NcdT is particularily nice for indexing CDs.

ncdt   prints directory tree for the current directory. It will be labeled .ncdt/usr
              prints directory tree of /usr. It will be labeled /usrncdt/cdrom'CD#21'
              prints directory tree of /cdrom. It will be labeled CD#21ncdt-db/cdrom
              lists directory sizes, play times and bitrate ranges

-d--dirs
              Print only directories, omit files. This mode is a rough equivalent of du(1).

       -b--bitrate
              Print  bitrate  info  for  directories.  Bitrates  are  displayed  both  for  ordinary  files  and
              directories. If all MP3 files in a given directory subtree have the same bitrate only  one  number
              is printed, if they have various bitrates the range is printed.

       --prefixtext
              Prefix  listing with given text. This option is not intended for general use.  It might be used by
              programs using NcdT to index CDsor doing similar operations to record additional information.

       -?--help
              Display usage summary.

       When called without any parameters ncdt displays directory tree for current directory (.).

       When called with one parameter ncdt displays directory tree for specified directory.

       When called with two parameters ncdt displays directory tree for the directory  specified  as  its  first
       parameter.  Second parameter is used as directory label for the top level directory (instead of directory
       name from parameter 1).
