disk usage for files
It's great when your downloading a file or set of files to use the command:
user@host(/)$ watch du -ak | grep ".ext"
heh.
(where .ext is the extension of the file you wish to monitor or even a full filename)
this full command is nice, because it let's you know the progress of iso downloads or whatever.

am I right in assuming that in unix a directory size is just information about that directory stored somewhere on the file system, and not a sum of its contents? This is because ls -l gives 1024 as my directory size, when the directory contains many gigs worth of stuff.

dh_xul-ext
DH_XUL-EXT(1) mozilla-devscripts suite DH_XUL-EXT(1)
NAME
dh_xul-ext - calculate XUL extension dependencies
SYNOPSIS
dh_xul-ext [options]
DESCRIPTION
dh_xul-ext is a helper tool for packaging XUL extensions. It calculates the supported XUL applications for the packages that contain an
install.rdf file. It will set the substitution variables xpi:Depends, xpi:Recommends, xpi:Breaks, xpi:Enhances, and xpi:Provides. Unknown
options will be ignored.
OPTIONS
-h, --help
Display a brief help message.
-a, --all
Expand substvars to all known XUL applications. If this parameter is not provided, substvars will only be expanded to the XUL appli-
cations that are available on your distribution. Use this parameter if you want to create a package that can be installed on all
Debian-based systems without recompiling.
-p package, --package=package
Calcalate the substvars only for the specified package. If this parameter is not provided, all package listed in the control file
will be processed.
-v, --verbose
Print more information.
ENVIRONMENT
DH_XUL_EXT_VENDOR
The vendor (for example, Debian or Ubuntu) that should be used for calculating the dependencies. dpkg-vendor(1) will be used for
determining the vendor if this environment variable is not set. Setting the variable to all will have the same effect than calling
dh_xul-ext with --all.
