du(1M) (BSD Compatibility Package) du(1M)
NAME
du - display the number of disk blocks used per directory or file
SYNOPSIS
/usr/ucb/du [ -F ufs ]
/usr/ucb/du [ -F ufs ] [ -a ] [ -s ] [ filename ]
DESCRIPTION
du gives the number of kilobytes contained in all files and,
recursively, directories within each specified directory or file
filename. If filename is missing, `.' (the current directory) is
used.
A file which has multiple links to it is only counted once.
OPTIONS
-a Generate an entry for each file.
-s Only display the grand total for each of the specified
filenames.
Entries are generated only for each directory in the absence of
options.
EXAMPLE
Here is an example of using du in a directory. We used the pwd(1)
command to identify the directory, then used du to show the usage of
all the subdirectories in that directory. The grand total for the
directory is the last entry in the display:
% pwd
/usr/ralph/misc
% du
5 ./jokes
33 ./squash
44 ./tech.papers/lpr.document
217 ./tech.papers/new.manager
401 ./tech.papers
144 ./memos
80 ./letters
388 ./window
93 ./messages
15 ./useful.news
1211 .

NOTES
Filename arguments that are not directory names are ignored, unless
you use -a .
If there are too many distinct linked files, du will count the excess
files more than once.
