A fast, concurrent file system traversal utility written in Go.

pfind is a command-line tool that recursively lists all files and directories starting from a specified root directory. It uses Go's concurrency features and a worker pool to efficiently traverse large directory structures in parallel.

On my 8 core laptop with a Samsung 980 PRO SSD, achieves a greater than 5x speed-up for a directory hierarchy of 2 million files. (5.8 seconds versus 36)

go install github.com/yourusername/pfind@latest

Or build from source:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/pfind.git
cd pfind
go build

pfind <start-directory>

Example:

pfind /home/user/documents
