+ictree is a terminal-based program that takes a list of contents of directories
+and displays them in a pager similar to less where you can fold/unfold
+directories and quickly jump between them.
+
+EXAMPLES:
+
+Find something with locate and pipe output into ictree:
+
+ locate something | ictree
+
+The same applies to any program that can produce a list of paths. For example,
+one can use find with ictree to view current working directory in a nice
+tree-like format:
+
+ find | ictree
+
+ictree can also take a file that contains paths as its first argument:
+
+ locate something > list.txt
+ ictree list.txt
+
+ictree supports Vi-like search functionality. Extended regular expressions are
+supported. If a pattern contains '/' character, the search is performed by full
+paths of items instead of their short names in the list.
