+"""
+This module provides functionality for listing files from a HuggingFace repository's index tar file.
+
+It includes a command-line interface (CLI) for interacting with HuggingFace repositories,
+specifically for listing and displaying information about files within a repository's
+index tar file. The module offers various options for sorting, filtering, and displaying
+detailed information about the files and the repository itself.
+
+Key features:
+
+1. List files from a HuggingFace repository's index tar file
+2. Display detailed file information
+3. Show repository and index file statistics
+4. Sort files by different criteria (offset, name, size)
+5. Validate the index file's status (up-to-date or outdated)
+
+This module is part of a larger system for interacting with HuggingFace repositories
+and provides a user-friendly interface for exploring the contents of index tar files.
