Question

Transcribed Image Text:Write a complete program that prints out the list of files in the current directory,
along with their file sizes and last modified datetime stamps. Any sub-directories are
ignored. At the end, print the total file size.
It accepts two optional command-line arguments:
Sort field (single sort key
only)
“name" for filename,
"size" for file size,
1
"date" for last modified
datetime stamp,
default is “name".
"asc" for ascending,
"desc" for descending,
2
Sort order

Total file size: 48203
Research how you access the file system using the functions in the os module. You
may use Python’s built-in sort() function to perform the sort.
