Fli -a tiny (18KB) easy to read file listing tool. Rust no_std and Libc

Why?I have access to my raspberry pi zero via ssh only. As for me it is hard to differentiate types of files etc based on colors, I needed something more readable and clear like picture/icon or emoji as I ended up with etc. And I decided to build fli and since ls is obviosly preinstalled on almost any machine, the second requirement for fli as a complimentary tool, is to be tiny.Readability: Nice readability thanks to use of emojis ( and ) instead of text coloring.Size: Since rust std contributes heavily to binary size, this project is no_std + libcCurrent binary size: M-series Mac 51KB , rpi zero 18KB.Display options:`fli` : short (name and type) not sorted output - direct stream, no heap allocation`fli -s`: short (name and type) sorted by name output - uses heap allocation`fli -l`: long (name, type, metadata ) not sorted output and fixed-sized alignment (20 chars for size and n_link) - direct stream, no heap allocation`fli -l -s`: long (name, type, metadata ) sorted by name output and dynamic alignment - uses heap allocation.`fli -l -S`: long (name, type, metadata ) sorted by size output and dynamic alignment - uses heap allocation.GitHub repo: https://github.com/tracyspacy/fli
