loc

loc

The loc command scans a directory tree, detects built-in languages, and reports:

• code lines
• comment lines
• empty lines
• size in bytes

The current terminal output is a table with per-language rows, totals, and elapsed time.

Basic usage

sephera loc --path .

Demo

sephera loc --path crates/sephera_core fast table output with totals and elapsed time

Ignore patterns

Repeat --ignore to combine multiple patterns:

sephera loc --path . --ignore target --ignore "*.snap"

Patterns containing *, ?, or [ are treated as globs and matched against basenames. Other patterns are compiled as regexes and matched against normalized relative paths.

Notes on correctness

Sephera’s scanner is byte-oriented and comment-token aware. It is designed to be fast, stable, and portable across newline styles, rather than to fully parse each language grammar.

In practice, that means:

• support for LF, CRLF, and classic CR
• support for the built-in comment styles declared in the language registry
• stable behavior across all supported language lookups
