    -w, --width <N>             Change width of output from 80 to N, or use full terminal width with N = `full`

As noted in #39, filenames quickly run into truncation issues. This PR allows you to change the output width from the default of 80 chars to another value. Additionally, specifying full instead of a number will use the terminal_size crate to use the whole width of the terminal.

Macros seem really hacky, but my goal was to just declare the format strings that println!() uses in one place.

let mut width: usize = 80;
if matches.is_present("width") {
let val = matches.value_of("width");
let x: Option<&str> = Some("full");

I don't have enough understanding of Rust's string comparison to compare val to a string, so I made a throwaway Option to compare to.

He @brewingcode! I'm not the repo person here, but I thought I might help you here. I don't think you need the temporary x here, you can straight up compare val == Some("full").

You might even be able to make something like

let width = match matches.value_of("width") {
    Some("full") => return terminal width,
    Some(val) => parse the thing,
    None => 80,
}

This is so we can start modifying the width of the filename field (at
index 0) based on a user-supplied width.
Use the terminal_size crate to use the full terminal width.
