/usr/bin/pttree

Jupyter all-spark-notebook image content combining the upstream jupyter/docker-stacks layer chain (base-notebook, minimal-notebook, scipy-notebook, pyspark-notebook, all-spark-notebook) into a single APK with the scientific Python stack, Apache Spark, R, and Spark/R kernels on top of jupyter-base-notebook.

From jupyter-all-spark-notebook 7.6.1_git20261106-r0 (enterprise-packages), captured 2026-11-08 by running pttree --help (exit 0). permalink

usage: pttree [-h] [-L MAX_DEPTH] [-S SORT_BY] [--print-size] [--no-print-size] [--print-shape]
              [--no-print-shape] [--print-compression] [--no-print-compression] [--print-percent]

`pttree` is designed to give a quick overview of the contents of a PyTables HDF5 file by printing
a depth-indented list of nodes, similar to the output of the Unix `tree` function. It can also
display the size, shape and compression states of individual nodes, as well as summary information
for the whole file. For a more verbose output (including metadata), see `ptdump`.

positional arguments:
  filename[:nodepath]   path to the root of the tree structure

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -L MAX_DEPTH, --max-level MAX_DEPTH
                        maximum branch depth of tree to display (-1 == no limit)
  -S SORT_BY, --sort-by SORT_BY
                        artificially order nodes, can be either "size", "name" or "none"
  --print-size          print size of each node/branch
  --no-print-size
  --print-shape         print shape of each node
  --no-print-shape
  --print-compression   print compression library(level) for each compressed node
  --no-print-compression
  --print-percent       print size of each node as a % of the total tree size on disk
  --no-print-percent
  --use-si-units        report sizes in SI units (1 MB == 10^6 B)
  --use-binary-units    report sizes in binary units (1 MiB == 2^20 B)
