lungbean/lsn

Description

lsn prints directory entries and shows an inline note stored in an extended attribute.

• Default key: user.lsn (override with LSN_KEY)
• Write/delete notes for files or directories
• Only show noted entries (-n)
• Recursive (-r)
• Man page + Bash completion

Notes are out-of-band (xattrs), so they don't clutter Git and travel with files when copied with xattr support.
