Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers What does total no. of files in ls -lrt o/p means? Post 302758177 by RudiC on Friday 18th of January 2013 02:35:06 PM

Not sure I understand what you want to achieve.
The sum you output is the total sum of blocks that ls outputs anyhow. This could be done with a oneliner as well:
Code:
$ ls -s1|awk 'NR==1{next} {sum+=$1} END {print sum}'

If you want total bytes instead, use column 5, or, use the stat command if available on your system.

NAME
Tk_GetRootCoords - Compute root-window coordinates of window SYNOPSIS
#include <tk.h> Tk_GetRootCoords(tkwin, xPtr, yPtr) ARGUMENTS
Tk_Window tkwin (in) Token for window. int *xPtr (out) Pointer to location in which to store root-window x-coordinate corresponding to left edge of tkwin's border. int *yPtr (out) Pointer to location in which to store root-window y-coordinate corresponding to top edge of tkwin's border. _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
This procedure scans through the structural information maintained by Tk to compute the root-window coordinates corresponding to the upper- left corner of tkwin's border. If tkwin has no border, then Tk_GetRootCoords returns the root-window coordinates corresponding to location (0,0) in tkwin. Tk_GetRootCoords is relatively efficient, since it doesn't have to communicate with the X server. KEYWORDS
coordinates, root window ATTRIBUTES
