# Usage

To get statistics of a folder structure as a Pandas dataframe in Python you can type:

```python
import folderstats  
df = folderstats.folderstats(
    '.', hash_name='md5',
    exclude=["tests", "venv", "__pycache__"],
    ignore_hidden=True)
df
```

You can use the same functionality as a command-line interface which can generate files (CSV or JSON) or print the statistics directly into the command line:

```bash
folderstats . -c md5 -i -o stats.csv
```

In order to see the other available arguments, type:

```bash
folderstats --help
```

```

                   [-p] [-e EXCLUDE] [-f FILTER_EXTENSION] [-l] [-v]
