       du(1M_BSD)           (BSD System Compatibility)           du(1M_BSD)


       NAME
             du - (BSD) display the number of disk blocks used per
             directory or file

       SYNOPSIS
             /usr/ucb/du [-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.

       EXAMPLES
             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  .
                   %

      NOTICES
            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.
