DU — User Commands
NAME
du − summarize disk usage
SYNOPSIS
du [ −s ] [ −a ] [ name ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Du gives the number of kilobytes contained in all files and, recursively, directories within each specified directory or file name. If name is missing, ‘.’ is used.
The argument −s causes only the grand total to be given. The argument −a causes an entry to be generated for each file. Absence of either causes an entry to be generated for each directory only.
A file which has two links to it is only counted once.
SEE ALSO
BUGS
Non-directories given as arguments (not under −a option) are not listed.
If there are too many distinct linked files, du counts the excess files multiply.
