Suffixes

pls shows suffixes for many common file types. This is usually helpful to identify file types by just looking at the name. The suffixes are generally dimmed so as to not appear like they're actually a part of the file name.

Arguments

--suffix/-S can be used to turn suffixes on or off. Suffixes are shown by default because of their utility.

Examples

pls # or --suffix=true or -S=true

​  dir/
󰌹  block_dev@ 󱞣 /dev/disk0
󰌹  char_dev@ 󰁔 /dev/null
   fifo|
   file
   socket=
󰌹  sym@ 󰁔 ./dir

 

pls --suffix=false # or -S=false

​  dir
󰌹  block_dev 󱞣 /dev/disk0
󰌹  char_dev 󰁔 /dev/null
   fifo
   file
   socket
󰌹  sym 󰁔 ./dir

 

Configuration

Using the configuration system, you can add suffixes for more file types, in addition to the default set included with pls , and change the existing suffixes to your liking.
