For comparison: GNU coreutils ls 9.4 is 139 KiB on my system.<p>BusyBox v1.36.1 is 2.1 MiB and has 272 tools which is just about 7.6 KiB per tool, so when it comes to space efficiency BusyBox is probably hard to beat.<p>The (probably statically linked) 9base-6 Plan 9 ls is 961 KiB.
Looks like nice human written rust code, I wonder if for your use case it might have been easier to write a small python script to use glob and pathlib to just add your emojis or note which is a file or dir since that shouldn't be super slow and would be using less space too(assuming you have python on your pi)
