ncls - List paths with rendering of multimedia
Contents
Description
ncls uses a multimedia-enabled Notcurses to list paths, similarly to the ls(1) command, rendering images
and videos to a terminal.
Name
ncls - List paths with rendering of multimedia
Notes
Optimal display requires a terminal advertising the rgbterminfo(5) capability, or that the environment
variable COLORTERM is defined to 24bit (and that the terminal honors this variable), along with a fixed-
width font with good coverage of the Unicode Block Drawing Characters.
Options
-d: list directories themselves, not their contents.
-l: use a long listing format.
-L: dereference symbolic links
-R: list subdirectories recursively.
-V|--version: Print version information, and exit with success.
-h|--help: Print help information, and exit with success.
-a|--aligntype: Align images on left, center, or right.
-b|--blitterblitter: Blitter, one of ascii, half, quad, sex, braille, or pixel. The default is pixel.
If the chosen blitter is unavailable, ncls will degrade (see notcurses_visual(3)).
-s|--scalescalemode: Scaling mode, one of none, hires, scale, scalehi, or stretch.
paths: Run on the specified paths. If none are supplied, run on the current directory.
If no scaling is specified, hires will be used with the pixel blitter, and scalehi will be used other‐
wise.
