NAME

du − disk usage

SYNOPSIS

­du [ ­-a ] [ -bsize ] [ ­file ...  ]

DESCRIPTION

­Du gives the number of Kbytes allocated to data blocks of named ­files and, recursively, of files in named directories.  By default, the disk block size is assumed to be 1024 bytes.  Other values can be set by the ­-b option; ­size is the number of bytes, optionally suffixed ­k to specify multiplication by 1024.  If ­file is missing, the current directory is used.  The count for a directory includes the counts of the contained files and directories.  The ­-a option prints the number of blocks for every file in a directory.  Normally counts are printed only for contained directories.
