DU(1)                       General Commands Manual                      DU(1)

NAME
       du - print disk usage

SYNOPSIS
       du [-as] [-l n] dir ...

OPTIONS
       -a     Give usage for all files

       -l     List up to n levels of subdirectories

       -d     Do not cross file system boundaries

       -s     Summary only

EXAMPLES
       du dir              # List disk space used by files in dir

       du -s dir1 dir2     # Give summaries only

       du -d /             # Show only the root device

DESCRIPTION
       Du  examines  one  or  more  directories and prints the amount of space
       occupied by the files in those directories and their subdirectories  in
       kilobytes.

BUGS
       Du  calculates  disk  usage  based  on file size. It could be there are
       holes in the file, not occupying any actual disk blocks, causing du  to
       overestimate  disk  usage.  (Du  does recognize and correctly calculate
       disk usage when hard links are encountered.)
