cuyo [file...]

file...
    The path to one or more files or directories to display information about. If no file is specified, cuyo may display information about the current directory.

The cuyo command is a simple utility for displaying file metadata in a human-readable format. It retrieves and presents information such as file size, modification date, owner, group, and permissions. It's designed for quick inspection of file attributes without needing to parse complex output from commands like ls -l or stat. cuyo aims to be more intuitive and easier to use for everyday file information needs. The tool focuses on providing essential file details in an easily understandable way. It strives for a balance between brevity and completeness, offering sufficient information for common file management tasks while avoiding overwhelming the user with excessive technical details. The output is often color-coded to enhance readability, further simplifying the process of identifying key file properties. It makes looking at specific metadata easier than looking at 'stat' or 'ls -l'.

The specific output format and color coding may vary depending on the version of cuyo and system configuration. The command may not be present on all Linux distributions as it's not a standard core utility. The metadata displayed could change with different implementations.

cuyo myfile.txt
Displays metadata for the file 'myfile.txt'.

cuyo mydirectory
Displays metadata for the directory 'mydirectory'.

cuyo file1.txt file2.txt
Displays metadata for multiple files.

cuyo is not a standard Linux command found in most core distributions. It's likely a custom or third-party utility designed for specific workflows or user preferences. Thus the history and development are specific to the team or person who created and published cuyo. The date of development is hard to establish but is more common with the rise of developer tools in the late 2010s, to make developer's jobs easier.
