Nick Craig-Wood 7060777d1d docs: fix hugo warning: found no layout file for "html" for kind "term"
Hugo has been making this warning for a while

WARN found no layout file for "html" for kind "term": You should
create a template file which matches Hugo Layouts Lookup Rules for
this combination.

This turned out to be the addition of the `groups:` keyword to the
command frontmatter. Hugo is doing something with this keyword though
this isn't documented in the frontmatter documentation.

The fix was removing the `groups:` keyword from the frontmatter since
it was never used by hugo.

title description
rclone ls List the objects in the path with size and path.

rclone ls

List the objects in the path with size and path.

Synopsis

Lists the objects in the source path to standard output in a human readable format with size and path. Recurses by default.

Eg

$ rclone ls swift:bucket
    60295 bevajer5jef
    90613 canole
    94467 diwogej7
    37600 fubuwic

Any of the filtering options can be applied to this command.

There are several related list commands

  • ls to list size and path of objects only
  • lsl to list modification time, size and path of objects only
  • lsd to list directories only
  • lsf to list objects and directories in easy to parse format
  • lsjson to list objects and directories in JSON format

ls,lsl,lsd are designed to be human-readable. lsf is designed to be human and machine-readable. lsjson is designed to be machine-readable.

Note that ls and lsl recurse by default - use --max-depth 1 to stop the recursion.

The other list commands lsd,lsf,lsjson do not recurse by default - use -R to make them recurse.

Listing a nonexistent directory will produce an error except for remotes which can't have empty directories (e.g. s3, swift, or gcs - the bucket-based remotes).
