Description:
fileinfo 0.3.3
Fileinfo helps you in identifying files with specific values for certain
attributes in order to search and sort these files and present the results
in an easily readable tabular fashion.
Using fileinfo you can access this information for many files at once
without opening these files individually with a dedicated application,
which can be very time consuming.
In order to determine such file attributes, fileinfo comes with some
pre-built plug-ins, for file formats like PDF, MP3, TTF and PY (Python
source code files). These plug-ins allow you to determine e.g. the number
of pages or the creator of PDF documents, the artist and title of MP3
files, the number of glyphs in TTF font files, the number of classes
or docstrings in Python files, etc.
Of course, you can also access file information on an operating system
level, like the size and modification date/time of files. And, you can
also write your own plug-ins to extend fileinfo’s capabilities.
A tool like fileinfo is different from other tools like Spotlight, since it does not use
a huge global index and it presents not only a flat result list, but an
overview of matching files together with the respective (possibly sorted)
attribute values. And since fileinfo is written in pure Python it is
not tied to a specific plattform.
Fileinfo is most useful when used on many files at once, because then
you get an overview of the attribute values for the entire set of files.
This release fixes a few buglets and implements minor packaging refactorings.

$ python fileinfo -a npages *.pdf
Here is an example of some statistics for Python code (taken from the
top-level of Docutils 0.5):
$ cd docutils-0.5/build/lib/docutils
$ fileinfo -a lc:nclasses:ndefs:ndocstrs *.py
lc nclasses ndefs ndocstrs path

Here is another example for Mac OS X Widgets:
$ cd /Library/Widgets
$ fileinfo --format rest-simple -a bundlename:bundleversion *.wdgt
