I’ve just released fst, a minimalistic C utility that provides comprehensive statistics about directories. It’s designed to be fast, with no dependencies, and is fully statically compilable.
Features:
Counts of files, directories, empty files/folders
Classifies binary, text, and script files
Displays min, max, and average file sizes
Identifies recent and oldest files
Lists executable files, symbolic and hard links
Supports human-readable sizes and recursive stats
Key Points:
Written in pure C, minimal dependencies, lightning fast
Works on both ARM and x86 architectures, fully statically compilable
Can run with no arguments (defaults to the current directory)
Licensed under LGPL 3.0

Submitted to GNU for review
I'm seeking feedback, ideas, and contributions from the community. The goal is to enhance usability, add more metrics, and possibly extend internationalization support in the future.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be highly appreciated!
