A filesystem inode analyzer that generates Mermaid diagrams showing directory structure with detailed inode information.

InodeGo recursively analyzes a directory structure and extracts low-level filesystem metadata (inodes) to create visual diagrams. It shows:

• Inode numbers and device IDs
• File permissions (in octal format)
• File sizes and block allocation
• Hard link detection
• UID/GID ownership
• File types (directory, regular file, symlink, pipe, socket, device)

go build -o inodego main.go

# Analyze current directory and print diagram to stdout
./inodego -stdout

# Analyze specific directory with custom depth
./inodego -stdout -max-depth 2 /path/to/directory

# Save diagram to file
./inodego -save

# Show filesystem statistics
./inodego -stats

# Combine options
./inodego -stdout -stats -max-depth 3 /path/to/directory

• -stdout - Print Mermaid diagram to stdout
• -save - Save diagram to inode_diagram.mmd file
• -stats - Display filesystem statistics
• -max-depth N - Maximum recursion depth (default: 3)

The tool generates a Mermaid class diagram that can be rendered using Mermaid-compatible tools. Each node in the diagram represents a file or directory with its complete inode information.

Hard links are automatically detected and shown with dotted arrows.

./inodego -stdout -max-depth 2 . > diagram.mmd

Then render the .mmd file using any Mermaid renderer (GitHub, Mermaid Live Editor, etc.).
