cdls is a curses-based file manager for quickly browsing directories and files. The screen can be dynamically adjusted to include all information (like 'ls -ail'), or just the filenames (multi-column), or anything in between. All basic file and directory manipulations are possible with 1 keystroke: copy, move, delete, view, execute, change owner/group/mode, edit, diff, link (hard/symbolic), wc, tail -f, cksum, hexdump and many others. Documentation is self-contained in cdls and consists of two screens from which each option or subject can be selected to show its info screen.
