exa: List files with the largest at the top.
$ exa --reverse --sort=${size}
try on your machine
This command utilizes the "exa" command-line tool with certain options to display files and directories in reverse order based on size.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "exa": This is the command to run the "exa" tool, which is a modern replacement for the traditional "ls" command. It provides additional features and options for listing files and directories.
- "--reverse": This option instructs "exa" to display the files and directories in reverse order.
- "--sort=${size}": This option tells "exa" to sort the files and directories based on size. The variable "${size}" represents the size of each file or directory, and using "--sort=${size}" sorts them from smallest to largest. However, combined with "--reverse," it will sort them from largest to smallest.
Overall, the command will show files and directories using "exa," but in reverse order and sorted based on their size, with the largest size appearing first.
