DU(1)                   COMMAND REFERENCE                   DU(1)



NAME
     du - summarize disk usage

SYNOPSIS
     du [ -a ] [ -r ] [ -s ] [ filename ... ]

DESCRIPTION
     Du gives the number of kilobytes contained in all files and
     (recursively) directories within each specified filename, if
     filename is a directory.  If a filename argument is a
     regular file, the size of the file will be given only if one
     or more options is given.  The count includes the indirect
     blocks of the file.  If filename is missing, `.' is used.

     Absence of an option causes an entry to be generated for
     each directory only.

OPTIONS
     -a Causes an entry to be generated for each file.

     -r Messages will be generated when directories cannot be
        read, files cannot be opened, etc.

     -s Causes only the grand total to be given.

EXAMPLES
     The following invocation gives the total disk usage for the
     directory /tmp.

          du -s /tmp


RETURN VALUE
     [NO_ERRS]      Command completed without error.

                    terminated.

     [P_WARN]       A system error occurred. Execution continues.
                    See intro(2) for more information on system
                    errors.

     [P_ERR]        A system error occurred. Execution
                    terminated.  See intro(2) for more

CAVEATS
     Non-directories given as arguments (not under -a option) are
     not listed.

     A file with two or more links is only counted once unless
     there are greater than 1024 distinctly linked files. The
