Tree

[Jamie McColl]

I have been asked to look into the unix command `tree`. But there is no entry in man page and nothing I can see in my manuals. Does it exist and if it does where can I get some info on it?

[melvyn burnard]

Are you not possibly referring to the 'tee' command?
In what context are you looking to use the command you are investigating? And the OS version may be relevant here.
Could you provide more details/information?

[Neil Haslum]

Never heard of it, could it be "tee"?

Jamie,

Tree is a valid Linux command.

ALthough this command does not exist on HP-UX, it does exist in Linux.

I have included the man page for your review.

Hope this helps.

Hi

I don't know no such a command on Unix.

A 'tree'-like command could be:

du | perl -pe 's#^(.*/)##;$x=$1;$cnt=($x=~y#/#/#);s/^/"t" x $cnt/e;'

Only the graphical chars are missing...

Jamie,

I assume you mean a program which displays/prints the directory tree structure.

There appears to be no tree command as standard with HP-UX but if you go to the porting and archive centre at http://hpux.connect.org.uk and search for tree then there are various utilities ported which may be of use to you.

Hope this helps

I am going to explore the Linux version of the command. Thanks for your help guys.
