#lr is a recursive file lister.

lr functions as both a file lister like ls, as well as a file finder like find. lr can perform most functions that ls and find can, but can also sort over the entire listing and sum directory sizes. lr offers input filters that can test for many file attributes, including using #Regex. lr can also apply formatting to its output.
