Versions:
rapido-fs is a filesystem inventory and search utility published by Claudio Abierto, currently available at version 0.2.0, which is the single release listed for the software. The tool is designed to perform fast, non-destructive analysis of filesystems, meaning it inspects and reports on directory structures without altering, moving, or deleting any of the scanned content. This read-only approach makes it suitable for environments where data integrity is critical, since the scanned tree remains completely unmodified throughout the analysis process. The software provides a command-line interface through the rao command, which serves as the primary entry point for all of its functionality. Using rao, users can rank folders and files by size, making it straightforward to identify which directories or files consume the most storage space on a system. This capability is particularly useful for storage management tasks, such as locating large files that could be archived or cleaned up, auditing disk usage across a filesystem, or understanding how storage is distributed among directories. In addition to size ranking, rapido-fs supports searching filesystem metadata, allowing users to query information about files and folders rather than their contents. This metadata-focused search complements the inventory features by helping users locate items based on filesystem attributes. Once an analysis or search is complete, the software can export reports, enabling users to preserve the results of a scan for documentation, auditing, capacity planning, or sharing with other team members. As a filesystem utility, rapido-fs fits within the categories of disk analysis, storage management, and system administration tooling. Its emphasis on speed and non-destructive operation distinguishes it as a practical option for quickly surveying large or complex directory trees without risk to the underlying data. With only one version published so far, version 0.2.0 represents the current state of the software, and its early version numbering reflects a project in the initial stages of its release history.
