6 bup-ls - list the contents of a bup repository
7
9 bup ls [OPTION...] <paths...>
10
12 bup ls lists files and directories in your bup repository using the
13 same directory hierarchy as they would have with bup-fuse(1).
14
15 The top level directory contains the branch (corresponding to the -n
16 option in bup save), the next level is the date of the backup, and sub‐
17 sequent levels correspond to files in the backup.
18
19 When bup ls is asked to output on a tty, and -l is not specified, it
20 formats the output in columns so it can list as much as possible in as
21 few lines as possible. However, when -l is specified or bup is asked
22 to output to something other than a tty (say you pipe the output to an‐
23 other command, or you redirect it to a file), it will print one file
24 name per line. This makes the listing easier to parse with external
25 tools.
26
27 Note that bup ls doesn't show hidden files by default and one needs to
28 use the -a option to show them. Files are hidden when their name be‐
29 gins with a dot. For example, on the topmost level, the special direc‐
30 tories named .commit and .tag are hidden directories.
31
32 Once you have identified the file you want using bup ls, you can view
33 its contents using bup join or git show.
34
36 -s, --hash
37 show hash for each file/directory.
38
39 -a, --all
40 show hidden files.
41
42 -A, --almost-all
43 show hidden files, except “.” and “..”.
44
45 -d, --directory
46 show information about directories themselves, rather than their
47 contents, and don't follow symlinks.
48
49 -l provide a detailed, long listing for each item.
50
51 -F, --classify
52 append type indicator: dir/, symlink@, fifo|, socket=, and exe‐
53 cutable*.
54
55 --file-type
56 append type indicator: dir/, symlink@, fifo|, socket=.
57
58 --human-readable
59 print human readable file sizes (i.e. 3.9K, 4.7M).
60
61 --numeric-ids
62 display numeric IDs (user, group, etc.) rather than names.
