NAME
dus - A simple command line utility for size-sorting files
SYNOPSIS
dus [OPTION]... [FILE]...
DESCRIPTION
dus lists files and directories according to their size. It
computes the said sizes by summing recursively exact file sizes
through directories. If a directory has its name appended with '/', it
is not listed, but the elements it contains are. If no files or
directories are provided as arguments, the current directory is used
as default.
OPTIONS
- -h, --help
-
print the help and exit
- -v, --version
-
print the version number and exit
- -d, --ignore-dots
-
ignore files and directories whose name starts with a dot
- -i, --ignore-protected
-
do not exit when trying to access files and directories for which we do not have permission
- -f, --fancy
-
display floating point size with K, M and G units
- -r, --reverse-order
-
reverse the sorting order (big to small instead of small to big)
- -t, --show-top
-
show the top of the list instead of the bottom
- -c <cols>, --nb-columns <cols>
-
force the number of columns, -1 means no limit (it is by default no
limits if the stdout is not a tty and the tty width otherwise)
- -l <lines>, --nb-lines <lines>
-
same as -c but for the number of lines
- -m <size min>, --min-size <size min>
-
restrict the printing of files and directories to these of size bigger
than a lower bound. The size can be specified using the G, M, K, and B
units
EXAMPLE
dus -m 1M -rt ~/private/
List the largest files and directories present in ~/private/, of sizes
greater than 1024kb, sorted in decreasing order.
BUGS
None known, probably many though.
