## What it is
fsql is a command-line tool that lets you search your filesystem using SQL-like queries with SELECT, FROM, and WHERE clauses. It supports filtering by attributes such as name, size, time, hash, and mode across directories specified with globs and exclusions.

## Use cases
- find files by name, size, or modification time with a SQL-like query
- search directories excluding paths like .git
- list files with their sizes and timestamps in one query
- replace find with a more expressive query language
- interactively explore a filesystem from the terminal

## When to choose
- you prefer SQL-style syntax over find's flags
- you need to filter files by multiple attributes like size, time, or hash
- you want glob-based directory sources with exclusions in one query

## When to avoid
- you need a POSIX-standard find replacement for scripts
- you need content-based full-text search rather than metadata filtering
- you want a GUI file search tool
