du -- display disk usage statistics
SYNOPSIS
du [-H | -L | -P] [-a | -s | -d depth] [-c] [-h | -k | -m | -g] [-x] [-I mask]
du [-H | -L | -P] [-a | -s | -d depth] [-c] [-h | -k | -m | -g] [-x] [-I mask]
[file ...]
DESCRIPTION
The du utility displays the file system block usage for each file argument and for
each directory in the file hierarchy rooted in each directory argument. If no file
is specified, the block usage of the hierarchy rooted in the current directory is
displayed.
The options are as follows:
-a Display an entry for each file in a file hierarchy.
-c Display a grand total.
-d depth
Display an entry for all files and directories depth directories deep.
-H Symbolic links on the command line are followed, symbolic links in file hier-
archies are not followed.
-h "Human-readable" output. Use unit suffixes: Byte, Kilobyte, Megabyte, Giga-
byte, Terabyte and Petabyte.
-I mask
