history
Project history and usage
dysk is a Rust command-line utility for listing filesystem and disk-usage information on Linux and macOS, positioned as a more readable and featureful alternative to `df`.
Project history
The Canop/dysk repository was created in 2020. Its README says dysk was previously known as lfs, documents Linux and Mac support, and points to dystroy.org as the complete documentation site.
The project later became a crates.io and Homebrew-packaged Rust CLI. The README highlights table output, selectable columns, JSON and CSV output, filters, sorting, and the separate `lfs-core` crate that provides the filesystem data.
Adoption history
dysk has become comparatively visible for a modern replacement-style system utility. Its packaging footprint includes crates.io, Homebrew, distro packages, and conda-forge, and Homebrew analytics show much higher direct install activity than many niche utilities in this batch.
How it is used
Users run `dysk` as an interactive or scriptable replacement for `df`, choosing columns, filtering filesystems, sorting output, or emitting JSON/CSV for downstream tools such as `jq`.
Why package nerds care
dysk is part of the Rust rewrite wave for everyday Unix tools: small single-purpose binaries with nicer defaults, structured output, color/table rendering, and easy cross-platform packaging. Its link to `lfs-core` is also useful for packagers because the display CLI and filesystem-query library are separate concerns.
Timeline
- 2020: Canop/dysk repository is created.
- 2023: The `dysk` crate appears on crates.io.
- 2020s: README notes the rename from lfs to dysk and documents JSON, CSV, filters, sorting, and `lfs-core`.
- 2026: Homebrew and crates.io both track dysk 3.6.1.
Related projects
- Related projects include `df`, `du`, `lsblk`, `dust`, `dua`, `ncdu`, `jq`, and Canop's `lfs-core` crate.
