NAME

       xdu - display the output of "du" in an X window

SYNOPSIS

       du | xdu [options]

DESCRIPTION

       Xdu  is	a  program  for displaying a graphical tree of disk space utilization as reported by the UNIX utility "du".  The user can navigate
       through the tree structure and change the order of the displayed information.  The window is divided up into several columns, each of which
       is  one	level  deeper  in the directory hierarchy (from left to right).  Boxes are drawn for each directory.  The amount of vertical space
       occupied by each box is directly proportional to the amount of disk space consumed by it and all of its children.  The name of each  direc-
       tory  and the amount of data are displayed provided that there is enough space within its box.  Any space at the "bottom" of a box not cov-
       ered by its children to the right represents the space consumed by files in that directory (as opposed to space from its children).

       There are several command line options available.  Equivalent resources (if any) are shown with each option.

       +s     (.showsize: true) display sizes (the default).

       -s     (.showsize: false) don't display sizes.

       -c num display num columns.

       -a     (.order: alpha) sorts display alphabetically.

       -ra    (.order: ralpha) sorts display reverse alphabetically.

       -n     (.order: size) sorts display numerically (largest first).

       -rn    (.order: rsize) sorts display reverse numerically (smallest first).

       -fg color
	      (.foregound) determines the color of the text and lines.

       -bg color
	      (.background) determines the color of the background.

       -rv    reverse video (for monochrome displays)

       In addition to these the usual toolkit options such as -rv, -font, -display, -geometry, are supported.

MOUSE ACTIONS

       The user can move up or down the tree by clicking the left mouse on a directory box.  If the left most box is selected,	the  display  will
       move up one level (assuming you are not already at the root).  If any other box is selected, it will be placed against the left edge of the
       window and the display will be rescaled appropriately.  At any time the middle mouse will bring you back to the root.  Clicking	the  right
       mouse will exit the program.

KEYSTROKES

       Several	keystroke  commands  are  supported.  Note that all sorting happens from the current root node down, so it is possible to sort one
       subtree differently than another by clicking into it, doing a sort, and going back up to the parent.

       1-9,0  sets the number of columns in the display (0 = 10).

       a      alphabetical sort.

       n      numerical sort (largest first).

       f      first-in-first-out sort (this is the order the data was read into the program).

       l      last-in-first-out sort.

       r      reverse sense of sort.

       s      toggle size display.

       h      display a popup help window.

       i      display information about the current root node to standard out.	The first line shows the path within the tree, the total size from
	      this  node  on  down,  and the precentage that total represents of all of the data given to xdu.	Subsequent lines show the size and
	      name information for all children of this node in the order they are currently sorted in.  This allows tiny directories to  be  seen
	      that otherwise could not be labled on the display, and also allows for cutting and pasting of the information.

       /      goto the root.

       q      (or Escape) exit the program.

ACTIONS

       All mouse and keyboard events trigger actions so they can all be rebound by translations to suit the individual.  The action functions are:

       reset()
	      goes to the root node.

       goto() moves down into the directory currently under the mouse (and is thus probably only useful bound to a mouse button).

       quit() exits the program.

       reorder(type)
	      sorts the display from the current root node down according to one of: alpha, ralpha (reverse alphabetical), size (largest to small-
	      est), rsize (smallest to largest), first (as originally read in), last (opposite of original data), reverse (reverse  whatever  sort
	      mode is currently selected).

       size() toggles size display on/off

       ncol(num)
	      sets the number of columns to num.

       info() displays directory information as described in the KEYBOARD section.

       help() displays a popup help window.

       As an example of rebinding these, you could put the following in your resources file:

       XDu*translations: #override

		 <Key>X: reorder(reverse)

	     <Btn3Down>: info()

       to make the 'x' key reverse the current sort order and the right mouse button print the directory information message.

RESOURCES

       The following resources are supported with some sample values.

       XDu*foreground:		yellow
       XDu*background:		blue4
       XDu*window.width:   600
       XDu*window.height:  480
       XDu*help*foreground:	green
       XDu*help*background:	red4
       XDu.ncol:      5
       XDu.font:      -*-helvetica-bold-r-normal--14-*
       XDu.showsize:	   False
       XDu.order:	   size

EXAMPLE

       cd /usr/src
       du > /tmp/du.out
       xdu -n /tmp/du.out

BUGS

       On some machines keyboard input may not be accepted by xdu until the mouse is moved out of and back into the window.  I have been told that
       putting the following in your resources file may fix this.

       <window manager name>.FocusLenience: True
