+# Phase 8
+
+Another quality of life feature, I want to add a fourth command:
+
+`drawer info foo.drawer`
+
+This command will take a drawer file (as well as the -i flag for the key that open / close take) and print, to stdout,
+some information about it.
+
+## Folder drawers
+Print something like this:
+```
+foo.drawer (folder, 3 files)
+```
+Be sure to include files in subfolders in the archive.
+
+## Single file drawers
+Print something like this:
+```
+foo.drawer (file, 47872 bytes)
+```
+The file size printed should be the uncompressed file size.
