Local protocol
---------------------------
The local protocol works very similarly to the 'file` protocol implemented in many modern web browsers. It allows you to view and navigate your files and filesystem.
-- Syntax / Usage --
When using the local protocol you should prefix the path you want with 'local://', so to view '/usr/local/bin' you would enter the following address into Bombadillo:
`local:///user/local/bin`
You may notice there is a third slash after 'local:', this represents the root directory and must be included in full paths.
Bombadillo's local protocol will also expand tildes for your home directory ('local://~').
Other than those things, navigation works like any other protocol, enter the link ID to navigate around folders or view files. When navigating to a folder the output will appear similar to running 'ls -la' in your shell. It will show hidden files and will output file permissions along with the file names. It does not, however, show file sizes.
